Author Topic: Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Becomes A Film System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 03-10-2011 12:47 PM                 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Becomes A Film Source: darkhorizons.com quote: Have we seriously reached the point of adapting corporate-sponsored public events onto film? Scott Glassgold and Raymond Brothers are developing a film based around the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade says The Hollywood Reporter. The producers are currently meeting with writers to develop the concept for this project which they describe as a "four-quadrant, family-friendly film" along "Night at the Museum" and "Elf" lines. Storyboard artist Joel Venti has come up with some illustrations to present to Macy's which they approved of. One potential concept is that the giant floats in the parade come to life.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-11-2011 12:13 PM                        This isn't surprising. Disney is also making a movie out of another theme park ride -- "Jungle Cruise." The difference there is, they've got a real good actor assigned to the project: Tom Hanks. So it could actually not suck.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-11-2011 12:53 PM                     quote: One potential concept is that the giant floats in the parade come to life. The Stay-Puft-Marshmallow-Man was funny the first time in Ghostbusters, but will not be funny a second time.  |  IP: Logged
