Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

Marvin The Martian
7/30/08 - Warner Brothers is launching development of a Marvin the Martian movie which will blend live action with computer animation.  Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce along with Steve Crystal.  Marvin was created by Chuck Jones and made his first appearance in a Looney Tunes cartoon in 1948. The character was often intent on blowing up the Earth, only to be foiled by Bugs Bunny.  The film was pitched as a Christmas story, with Marvin coming to Earth to destroy Christmas but being prevented from doing so when he's trapped in a gift box.
