Really MGM? You go through all that financial turmoil, and your next move after getting all your other projects back on track is to go ahead and make a WHERE’S WALDO movie?
Yes, this is happening, as MGM President Jonathan Glickman explains:
“We are thrilled to be bringing the search for Waldo to the big screen. Along with our partners at Classic Media, we look forward to making a worldwide adventure that will appeal to Where’s Waldo? fans of all ages.”
Well, there you have it, a family friendly WHERE’S WALDO film is coming. What exactly that entails, I have no idea. Yes, the brand recognition is there, as Waldo is a recognizable face in a crowd, but what exactly was the plot of the dozens of Where’s Waldo books I read as a child? Uhhh, he likes to travel. He’s friends with a wizard. He’s being chased by an evil version of himself who wears opposite colors? He loses articles of clothing frequently? That’s all I’ve got.
So, how is this going to go?
