Stretching The Facts

The long gestating (still ill-advised) Stretch Armstrong movie has found a new home but looses its star says THR.


Taylor Lautner no longer stars as Stretch. At last report director Rob Letterman (Monsters vs Aliens, Shark Tale) had signed on to direct the live-action 3-D pic based on the classic toy.

 Nicholas Stoller of Forgetting Sarah Marshall fame was doing a rewrite of the original screenplay that was penned by Steve Oedekerk. Brian Grazer was set to co-produce the pic.

Now the project has jumped from Universal Pictures to Relativity Media.

Ryan Kavanaugh, Brian Goldner and Bennett Schneir are producing while Tucker Tooley is exec producing the film with Letterman who vacated the big chair anyway.

They have even set an April 11, 2014 release date for the tentpole

Ugh!
