Marvin the Martian Landing in Theaters

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Animation, Family, Upcoming Releases

Given the recent success of Alvin and the Chipmunks, other studios are now jumping on the live-action/CGI bandwagon.

Warner Bros. has just announced that Marvin the Martian will be the next cartoon character up for the big screen treatment. The Looney Tunes character - which was first introduced 60 years ago - will reportedly get his own Christmas-time feature.

Although Marvin’s plans to destroy the Earth were usually ruined by Bugs Bunny, it doesn’t appear the carrot chomper will be included in the adaptation. As the film is currently conceived, the white-gloved one will become trapped in a gift during his attempt to ruin the holiday.

No target date has been announced for the project.
