¶ IGN has revealed a set of four posters for KICK-ASS. WARNING: the poster descriptions contain spoilers aplenty.
¶ Some kind of horrible live/CGI mutant version of YOGI BEAR is being planned, and Dan Aykroyd is believed to be voicing Yogi, while Justin Timberlake may be Boo Boo. Somehow, we just can’t wrap our head around this.
¶ As noted in our comment section, Toykopop president Stuart Levy has co-directed the adaptation of VAN VON HUNTER, a light-hearted Ameri-manga by Pseudomé Studio. The film is described as “Mockumentary/Comedy tracking the meteoric rise of the glorious evil-vanquisher-turned-celebrity, Van Von Hunter” and stars Yuri Lowenthal.
There is no part of this that is not COMPLETELY AWESOME.
That picture of Justin, combined with the mental image of Boo-Boo, is highly disturbing. Haveing said that, I believe it is foolish to doubt Justin Timberlake – he can do anything!
That Yogi Bear news hurts my head. Does not compute. Hell, the idea of a live action CGI movie is bad enough.
Meanwhile.. I’m confused with what TokyoPop is doing with Van Von Hunter. I heard they filmed at cons. That and the mockumentary tag doesn’t make sense because while a parody, the book was set in a Castlevania like setting. Then again judging from their long in dev hell Princess Ai fiasco and their horrible take on Japanese manga Lament of the Lamb, I don’t see TokyoPop being much better in movies than they were as a publisher.
