The Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake and Anna Faris are in contract discussions to headline the live-action/CG animated Yogi Bear movie for Warner Bros.  If this is the first that you're hearing of a Yogi Bear movie, I'm sorry. These things happen.

Aykroyd would provide the voice for Yogi, who would be one of the film's CG creations. Timberlake would offer up the pipes for Boo Boo, which is pretty decent casting I suppose. Faris, best known for her roles as Cindy Campbell in four Scary Movie films, gets to play a real person in the movie, a documentary filmmaker.

Journey to the Center of the Earth's Eric Brevig will director from a screenplay by Brad Copeland (Wild Hogs). Donald De Line (Green Lantern) and Karen Rosenfelt (Twilight) are producing and filming gets underway in December somewhere in New Zealand. They must have better looking trees than we do.

Yogi Bear got his start as a supporting character on The Huckleberry Hound Show back in 1958, then graduated to his own TV series in '61. A talking, laidback bear that lives in Jellystone Park with his diminuative sidekick Boo Boo, all Yogi wants is picnic baskets filled with tasty morsels that the campers bring with them into the park. Yogi became one of TV animation's staples to kids that grew up in the 1960s through '80s.
