[...] Ok, on to the topic at hand. Looks like Chris Columbus (the man who directed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Rent, Mrs. Doubtfire, Home Alone and a score of others) has picked up the theatrical rights to Dilbert. The folks over at Moviehole give us this:
The rights to the popular cartoon previously laid with Columbia – who produced the TV series – who planned to turn the office dweeb into a feature film a couple of years back. Never happened. With Columbus on board, the film will be now be shot, tinned and released by Warner Bros.
The comics tell of a Cubicle denizen named Dilbert who toils away at Path-E-Tech which makes undefined products. The focus is on his survival amongst a moronic boss, hostile co-workers and his malevolent pet, Dogbert. Daniel Stern (“City Slickers”) provided the voice of the character in the series.
This is cool, I just hope that Scott Adams has good control of the movie so it doesn’t suck. Also I wonder if its going to be animated or live action like the Simpsons movie coming out is supposed to be. The thing is, if its live action it’ll seem like an Office Space clone.
