MTV is So Damn 'Hyperactive'
Filed under: Deals », Family Films », Newsstand »
I just love the word metabolism. Some people wish they had a good one, so they could eat whatever they wanted to. Others think it will explain away eating disorders: "My bones naturally stick out of my skin like this. I have a high metabolism!" This is especially prevalent in Hollywood, which leads me to believe that those high-price plastic surgeons have a high metabolism shot that they offer with routine botox. But I'm getting off-track. This new pic isn't about super-thin actresses, but is rather the latest deal for graphic novelist Scott Christian Sava.Disney has the Pet Robots, but MTV has got the rights to Hyperactive, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The upcoming graphic novel is about a teen "whose overactive metabolism grants him incredible speed and enhanced agility." See, this makes me wonder: if a metabolism can make you super-skinny, just how much would you have to eat to not only have the normal energy, but the juice to fuel the speed and agility? Or, is that just a side effect? Anyhow, THR also says: "In the story, teen Joey Caram must constantly stay one step ahead of a pharmaceutical company who is chasing him to extract his DNA. Caram must evade capture and rescue his kidnapped family." That last bit seems a bit out of left field. For reasons unknown, his family has been taken, and he has to escape the urgent needles chasing him to save them. Well, at the very least, it should be interesting. There's no writer attached yet, so it'll be a while before we see what MTV makes of it.
Disney Cages 'Pet Robots'
Filed under: Deals », Disney », Family Films »
I have to say, when I first saw this news, I imagined a whole film with kids who have those little electronic pets on keychains and the like. Basically, a snooze fest. Fortunately, it's a bit more interesting than that. Disney has picked up the rights to an upcoming graphic novel from Scott Christian Sava called Pet Robots. The premise -- well, take Fido, wipe out the zombies and add in robots and you'll get the idea -- these aren't animal bots. Sava's book is a present-day comedy about "futuristic robots that fall into the hands of the least likely group of people." That group of people are four students -- Jake, Chris, Tammy and Tommy -- who get lost while visiting the Rooty Tooty Toy Company. They're followed home by four military robots -- Skye, Rock, Aqua and Wind -- and the company wants their robots back.Sava is no stranger to Disney. He's the founder of Blue Dream Studios, an animation house that has worked with Walt's ol' company in the past. From there, he got into books and comics. While no writer is attached to the project yet, I wouldn't be surprised if Sava either takes the pen, or shows up in some animation capacity, given his background. Then again, this could even go the live-action route if Disney desires. The project is being produced by Chris Bender and J.C. Spink of, obviously, Benderspink.
