MTV blogs about the planned movie adaptation based on the Stretch Armstrong doll made by Kenner (remember that name?) back in the 70s.
Shaky sounding idea. A whacky comedy, huge budget 3-D movie about a guy with stretchy limbs? I can already see the fakey CGI coming through the screen, and poking my mind with its hokey plot.
I like that Rob Letterman (Monsters vs. Aliens) will direct, but Taylor Lautner in the title role? He doesn't seem right for this -- he just doesn't have that 'stretchy' look. I really don't see him carrying a big-budget CGI 3-D romp.
Weren't the kids that played with Stretch Armstrong kind of dorks? I was totally a dork and I would never touch one of those things. This picture needs to be aimed at kids to have any chance, and I'm not sure they'll be interested.
