Warner Bros. is developing a film at Alcon Entertainment based on the spacey antics of Marvin the Martian, made famous in many classic Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons. The family flick will blend live action and CGI.
Broderick Johnson, Andrew Kosove and Steve Crystal are on board as producers producing. Crystal, a former Warner executive with a first-look deal at Alcon through his Charlie Co. organization, developed the pitch 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.”
Marvin was created by Chuck Jones and made his first appearance in a Looney Tunes cartoon in 1948. The pint-sized alien was constantly trying to blow up the Earth, only to be hiariously thwarted by Bugs or Daffy.
