News on ROCKY & BULLWINKLE and the CARMEN SANDIEGO movie

Wow, it's amazing to see a day come along where perfect casting stares you in the eye... twice... concerning ANIMATED and/or COMIC Characters, but that's what was announced over at The Hollywood Reporter today.

First up we have Jennifer Lopez in negotiations to star as CARMEN SANDIEGO. Sandra Bullock was long rumored to be attached to this beloved children's show-to-feature film project, and personally... as much as I like Sandra... Jennifer Lopez will be FANTASTIC in the role... if they have a script worth shooting. According to T.H.R. there is still no director attached. What have you heard about the project, script, etc?

Then, seemingly putting to rest those AWFUL (in my opinion) MTV rumors of whatsherface playing NATASHA, we have Rene Russo just a hair away from signing on to play the femme fatale in the big budget Universal ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE. She'd play the taller sexier half of the bad duo, with Jason "Seinfeld" Alexander playing Boris. I've been marveling for a long time at the concept of Robert De Niro as Fearless Leader. Rocky and Bullwinkle will be... CGI creations, and it is not certain, in what style they will be rendered. But whatever it is... THIS IS A COOL WEIRD FILM I NEVER CONCEIVED WOULD REACH THE SCREEN! Strange film thus far...
