OSMOSIS JONES !!!

Every now and again I get something weird, a piece of email that just hits me in the forehead and makes me want to know more. Such was the case with OSMOSIS JONES. The title alone, grabbed my attention, and as I began asking my flunkies in Warner's board rooms... well I found out. It turns out that OSMOSIS JONES will be traditional with CG elements. That it is a buddy cop movie set in the bloodstream, about a white blood cell named Osmosis Jones who has to stop a 24 hour Asian virus before it destroys the body he lives in. That it's a send up of action/cop films, and they're starting to do tests on it. Warners is pretty excited about it, and according to my spies with the shield, they honestly believe its a front runner for their next project. The script is by a writer named Marc Hyman, and once again I hear of a project the wish they could read.. Most of the discussions, my Warner's Exec types were informing, on OJ have to do with how we're going to represent the cells. The artists have worked up some amazing shit, the coolest of which is the idea that they are humanoid in form, with faces and hands that kind of float around inside. Ozzy, as we call him, is fully maleable. The virus looks very different, a bad looking octopus type thing.
