From the Sci-Fi Channel newswire:
"Circle of Confusion and Five Windows Productions are developing a live-action remake of the French animated SF movie Fantastic Planet, Variety reported."
WTF? For anyone who hasn't seen Fantastic Planet, that's rather like saying someone is going to make a live-action version of "Yellow Submarine". They're both so utterly bizarre that doing them live would involve so many special effects that you may as well animate them anyway (and include a doobie for the full experience.)
Actually they did sorta do a live-action Yellow Submarine. Fortuantely years of therapy have managed wipe "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (starring the Bee-Gees!) almost completely from my mind.
