Wait, so the movie will just be text scrolling across the screen?

It might be fun as a computer game, but this is going to be a horrible movie.

I can't imagine production costs are gonna be a whole lot for this one... aside from paying for Morgan Freeman to do the narration

[pnickers]

and someone to write...erm...type the movie.

Am I alone in thinking that this looks stupid?

watching it
No you're not alone - I don't think I will ever pay to watch this movie, or if I saw it for free - pay in time

speaking of Morgan Freeman - form his wiki page

Freeman was injured in an automobile accident near Ruleville, Mississippi, on August 4, 2008. The vehicle in which he was traveling, a 1997 Nissan Maxima, left the highway and flipped over several times. He and a female passenger were rescued from the vehicle using the "Jaws of Life". Freeman was evacuated via medical helicopter to a hospital in Memphis.[15][16] Police ruled out alcohol as a factor in the crash.[17] Freeman was coherent during the crash, as he joked to a photographer about taking his picture at the scene.[18] He broke his shoulder, arm and elbow in the crash and had minor surgery on August 5. Doctors operated for four hours trying to control nerve damage in his shoulder and arm.[19] His publicist announced he is expected to make a full recovery.[20] On August 7th, Freeman was discharged from the hospital. [21]

Days after the accident, Freeman's attorney and business partner Bill Luckett, announced that Freeman and his wife of 24 years, Myrna Colley-Lee, are getting a divorce.[22]

1997 Nissan Maxima? C'mon now, you're an Academy Award-winning movie star...

I would think that this article is a joke. Considering that it was supposed to have been announced by Lion's Gate, but there is no press release for it on their website.

Although in looking for it I did find out that Lion's Gate has acquired the rights to the Little Tikes line of toys.

Yeah, who would go see a movie which is essentially a book on screen.

[homesystem]

Like I said, it sounds stupid.

[Shoval Manuts]

Do you think it's any coincidence that he had a "female passenger" and then a few days later he's getting a divorce?  I wonder if he lost control with some hookers head in his lap?

I thought I heard or read somewhere that this other chick was his soon-to-be-ex-wifes' good friend.
But it's quite possible that that's how it happened.
