Hey Marv

Warner Bros.. and Alcon Entertainment are developing a film built around "Marvin the Martian" reports Variety.

The cartoon character made his debut in a Looney Tunes cartoon in 1948. Created by toon titian Chuck Jones, Marvin was often intent on blowing up the Earth, only to be foiled by Bugs Bunny and his cohorts

The new story will have a Christmas theme with Marvin coming to Earth to destroy Christmas but being prevented from doing so when he's trapped in a gift box.

The project is going to be a hybrid of live action and CGI.

Marvin was always a favorite of mine as kid--Thanks in large part to the late great Mel Blanc and his unique vocal skills for him....I'm actually a bit jazzed by this news...
