Both the Berenstain Bears and Marmaduke are being made into movies and I am just thrilled.

I learned to read using the Berenstain Bears books, and I read them to my kids today.

Here's a little info about the movie from Dark Horizons:

Quote:
 
Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum") has signed on to produce a film adaptation of The Berenstain Bears book series for Walden Media reports USA Today.

Blending live-action and computer animation, the comedy based on the works of Jan and Stan Berenstain will follow the bear family as they deal with more contemporary topics relevant to both children and parents.

Writers have yet to be hired but the film's original story will incorporate details from some of the more popular Berenstain books. The aim is something along the lines of Will Ferrell family comedy "Elf".

Pre-production aims to kick off late next year.



Marmaduke was one of my favorite Sunday morning comic stripts to read as a kid, so I'm looking forward to this one as well.

Again, movie info from Dark Horizons:

Quote:
 
Owen Wilson has signed on to voice the classic comic strip dog "Marmaduke" for 20th Century Fox says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story follows a family named the Winslows who move from Kansas to Orange County with their dog Marmaduke, a slobbery Great Dane who creates chaos wherever he goes.

Tim Rasmussen and Vince Di Meglio's script has Marmaduke navigating a volatile Mutts vs. Pedigrees turf war, wooing the purebred of his dreams and overcoming a fall from grace.

Judy Greer, Lee Pace and William H. Macy play the humans. Wilson joins Fergie, Emma Stone, George Lopez, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Steve Coogan, Damon Wayans, Marlon Wayans who supply the voices to the film's various critters.

Tom Dey is directing the comedy which opens in June.
