Popeye 3D Animated Film Gets Two Screenwriters
Back in March 2010 , we learned that Sony was set to bring Popeye the Sailor Man back in an animated feature film. Well over a year later, they now have two people lined up to write the screenplay for the film, and it looks like theyve gone with a duo with some experience in adapting a vintage cartoon to a modern-day story.Its likely that Popeyes message of eating spinach to stay strong inspired many a kid to chow-down on their vegetables. Of course, the healthy message may have been lessened somewhat by the fact that he was often seen chewing on a pipe. Regardless, the character, who dates back to a comic strip from the late 20s, is beloved by generations. The last time we saw him on the big screen, it was in the 1980 film Popeye . If my memory is accurate (I cant recall the last time I actually saw this movie), Robin Williams did a fairly good job in portraying the cartoonish character, due in large part to the comedians ability to mimic Popeyes scrunched-up face and unique way of speaking.
Its sort of a relief to know that Sony Pictures Animation and Avid Arads Arad Productions are going the animated 3D route for the latest installment, rather than live-action. According to the Hollywood Reporter the project now has a team of two screenwriters. Jay Scherick and David Ronn are set to pen a screenplay for the animated film.
The duo are among the screenwriters for The Smurfs , which makes them a good fit for a project like this. Sonys Bob Osher (president of Sony Pictures Digital Productions) seems to agree, saying, Scherick and Ronn have a remarkable talent in re-energizing beloved characters. As they demonstrated with The Smurfs , they embrace the iconic characteristics of these timeless characters and craft a story that really engages moviegoers today.

Jordan.Boy: 小小罗汉鱼
This is my new nickname .. and u know why, coz I fell again and a BIG baluku grow on my forehead. My mummy says i looked like a '罗汉鱼" .. hehe. Hiaz, I also dunno how I fell. I was trying to climb onto the activity table (jus like how the gymnast do in the Olympic) and suddenly, juz lost my balance. My mouth was bleeding and it's actually quite painful.
