‘Yogi’ Cast Taking Shape
A year ago, a film version of Yogi Bear was announced. The film is set to be a mixture of CGI and live-action in the same style as Garfield and Alvin and The Chipmunks. Except it will hopefully be better than either of those two movie adaptations.
According to Variety, the cast is beginning to come together. Dan Aykroyd is being prepped to play the title character of Yogi Bear, with Justin Timberlake in talks to play his sidekick Boo-Boo. Anna Faris from The House Bunny is set to play a documentary filmmaker.
Yogi is the first of a number of Hanna-Barbera cartoons to be adapted for the big screen by Warner Bros. The others on their way to being made in the not-too-distant future are Scooby-Doo 4, Jonny Quest, and Hong Kong Phooey.
Eric Brevig is set to direct Yogi from a script written by Brad Copeland. Shooting is set to begin in New Zealand before Christmas. Casting sounds promising but knowing how the other cartoon-to-movie adaptations have turned out this is one I’ll wait to see before making judgment.
