Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake are the first to join the cast of Eric Brevig's upcoming "Yogi Bear" film for Warner Bros., which is prepping the project for a December shoot.

"Bear" will be a mix of CGI and live-action, much in the same way as the recent "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "Garfield," two films that absolutely sucked (and looked terrible). It will be shot in 3D.

Eric Brevig to direct Yogi Bear flick

Eric Brevig is set to direct Warner Bros.' upcoming big-screen version of the popular Hanna-Barbera classic cartoon "Yogi Bear."

Ash Brannon was originally attached to helm "Yogi," but I have no word on why exactly he left the project, which the Hollywood Reporter says will be shot in 3D.

The trade reports the project will be a mix of CGI and live-action, much in the same way as the recent “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” In other words, Yogi and Boo-Boo will probably be computer-animated.

Brevig made his directorial debut recently with "Journey to the Center of the Earth." He also worked as visual effects supervisor on films like "Men in Black" and "The Day After Tomorrow."

Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia are writing the script.

FYI, Yogi Bear first appeared in “The Huckleberry Hound Show” before getting his own show in 1961.

Yogi, Boo-Boo to make big-screen debut

Warner Bros. is set to develop a big-screen version of the popular Hanna-Barbera classic cartoon “Yogi Bear,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Ash Brannon, co-director of “Surf’s Up,” is directing the project, which Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia (“Tooth Fairy”) are writing.

The trade reports the project will be a mix of CGI and live-action, much in the same way as the recent “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” In other words, Yogi and Boo-Boo will be computer-animated.

Yogi Bear first appeared in “The Huckleberry Hound Show” before getting his own show in 1961.

This definitely sounds like a nice idea, although I am not sure the CGI/live-action mix is such an awesome idea. Those chipmunks in “Alvin” just looked like crap to me. Let’s hope they put more effort into this.
