Anna Faris and Dan Aykroyd to Get Grizzly in Yogi Bear

Source:  The Hollywood Reporter
In a story from The Hollywood Reporter, Anna Faris and Dan Aykroyd are in talks to star in Warner Bros. Yogi Bear. This will be a feature film based on the popular cartoon.

Also negotiating to join the project is Justin Timberlake. Eric Brevig is directing this project which will be both live-action/CG.

Faris is going to play a nature documentarian who tags along on the antics of a bear in Jellystone Park. Aykroyd is going to voice Yogi, and Timberlake might voice Yogi's companion, Boo Boo.

Joshua Sternin and Jeff Ventimilia wrote the original draft of this film, while Brad Copeland has written the most recent one.

The plan is for production on this project to start in New Zealand this December.

I have to say I agree with Mindless, that would be the best/worst take on Yogi Bear but it would entertain, no doubt! I have mixed feelings about this, before they F$%@ up a widely known cartoon, start with something small like, I dunno Banjo the Woodpile cat maybe lol?

I think Dan Aykroyd would be more fitting to play the Park Ranger.

Though only a voice, Anna was awesome in Meatballs.

eh who am i kidding. after reading mindless' comment, he brings up good points about the commercialization and family-oriented aspects which will surely ruin the movie.

doesn't sound too promising. bummer, too b/c i love Yogi Bear. but if you're having to cast and rely on big names to move the production along, it can't be that good. Seriously, who cares if it's Timberlake, Akroyd or anyone else... they're doing signature voices! if they do the job right, no one will even know it was them!
