Hey Boo-Boo! We’re In the Movies!

Variety reports that the Hanna-Barbera classic character Yogi Bear is headed to the big screen, with some big names in talks to be attached!
Anna Faris (every “Scary Movie” installment to date), may play a documentary filmmaker visiting Jellystone Park, where apparently the bears wear neckties and only eat from neatly packed wicker pik-in-ik baskets. Dan Aykroyd(!!!) is lined up for the voice role of the bear who charts higher than the median intelligence for ursines in general, and Justin Timberlake (numerous Sony commercials) is in talks to be the voice of Yogi’s diminutive and conscience-burdened buddy, Boo-Boo.
The script is by Brad Copeland, whose former credits include episodes of “Arrested Development” and “News Radio”… we think that might be a good sign! The movie will be a combination of live action and CGI wizardry… and we don’t know what to think about that. A 3D talking bear might seem more terrifyingly freakish than the crafty scamp we remember…
