Steve Oedekerk and Brian Grazer will be teaming up to bring a film adaptation based on Hasbro's Stretch Armstrong line of child toys. The announcement comes months after a deal was brokered between the toy company and Universal Studios to begin making movies based on popular toys from Hasbro.
Steve Oedekerk has been in the limelight for sometime as a writer on various projects including Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Bruce Almighty, and Patch Adams and is also the writer and star of the Kung-Fu spoof Kung Pow, which coincidentally enough he is filming a sequel to as we speak.
Despite the talent behind the film, I am gonna have to say that this is a film that should stop at the pre-production phase and die a slow and horrible death.
As if you didn't need another reason why this film is a bad idea, then here is an old school commercial for the child's toy that contributed to more than one or two black eyes in my lifetime.
