Sony Pictures is planning to base a feature film on the story of Christian the Lion, a domesticated lion cub who was re-ingratiated into the wild by his adopters in the early 70s. If this story sounds familiar, you may have been one of the 13 million people to watch the popular Youtube video of said lion experience:
I;m in favor of bringing the Free Willy story to a new generation as much as I;m in favor of hugging lions, but I;m also worried that this could this set a terrible precedent of popular Youtube videos being snatched up by studios and made into feature films. Some examples of movies we do not need to see in theaters:Hard Chocolate Rain (starring Randy Quaid as Tay Zonday)
Alvin and the Dramatic Chipmunks
Charlie Kaufman Bit Me
Grape Lady Expecations
Evolution of Dance (starring Orlando Jones and David Duchovny)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Kid
