THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT
GETS MOVIE ADAPTATION
In rather delightful news from 'Deadline' Universal has bought the
movie rights on bestselling picture book THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT by
Drew Daywalt which tells the story of a box of crayons whose inhabitants
decide to go on strike after growing sick and tired of how they’re
being used. Among the lead characters are a white crayon with an
existential crisis because he doesn’t show up on white paper, a black
crayon who longs to colour a rainbow or a beach ball, and a pink crayon
who is fed up with colouring nothing but princess dresses.

That first pic caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read that picture book. It's cool that it's being made into a movie.
hope you clicked on it to see him bigger :)
DeleteInto the Woods was a Broadway musical, right?
ReplyDeleteindeed it was
DeleteI'll have to come back later and watch this on a the other computer. Not sure if you saw my next question to you, but I'm in the market for a rum that will work nicely in a bake, but that won't break the bank. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeletethere are different kinds of rum? :)) We only have one kind here... I know it doesn't usually work well for me in baking (the taste disappears in the oven) so I put it in my icings. And I always use the real booze, not the aroma or essence of it... Always have one or two lil' bottles of it in my pantry
DeleteThat's what I want to use the real deal. I'm not a fan of the fake extracts. Icksville City.
DeletePS: I believe there are, but I'm not 100%, since I don't drink or bake/cook with alcohol.
I think I've heard of a white rum too once... we must go to Jamaica to investigate :)
Delete"Into the Woods" looks terrific! And Tracey Ullman will rock, I'm sure, playing Jack's nagging, shrewish Mom who will berate him for his stupidity at business.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she will be great!
DeleteI'm so excited for Into the Woods. Love it. And I like how they don't show the wolf in the trailer. Just a glimpse at Johnny Depp's hairy paw. :)
ReplyDeletejust same old Depp under tones of make up and probably a weird hat....
Deletewith all the fairy tale movies out I'm sure that Into the Woods will do well.
ReplyDeletesure will especially since it comes out at Christmas
DeleteI've heard of the book The Day the Crayons Quit and I think it would make a really fun movie; I'd watch it! And I'd love to see Into the Woods as well. I love fairy tales :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the movie will be CGI or animated, could be really fun because I really like the fun plot of it
Deletelooks like a interesting movie, hope it's good
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, I'm afraid it might be a bit without soul since it's directed by Rob Marshall who is cold as polar bear's bum...
DeleteChristine Baranski as Cinderella's stepmother, haha! I love this actress in The Good Wife and I'm sure I'll love her in that totally different style. I just feel like such a scenario existed in the past though, I must find the title.
ReplyDeleteThe Crayons movie seems cute indeed, but I guess it reveals a lot about our society... Or maybe it doesn't, we'll see ^^
I'm sure the crayon movie will have a lovely message
DeleteOh my gosh. I've got to see Into The Woods. Doen't Chris Pine look delightful?
ReplyDeleteand they say he sings like Sinatra :)
DeleteShould have known Johnny Depp would be in INTO THE WOODS. Looks like a fun movie.
ReplyDeleteand as soon as you saw a hat you knew it was him...
DeleteWe saw Guardians of the Galaxy last night and Into the Woods was one of the trailers. Looks fun and what a cast.
ReplyDeleteit is a rather stellar cast!
DeleteCHRIS PINE SINGS?! I think I just died a little. CAN'T WAIT!!
ReplyDeletethey say he has a Sinatra voice
DeleteI'm so excited to watch this!!! :)
ReplyDeleteme too!
DeleteYes, Yes, Yes! Into The Woods is definitely one I will be thrilled to see. Jason is a doofus, so he won't go to a musical, but I know my girls will get a kick out of it as much as I will!
ReplyDeleteshould be a superfun family event :) Tell Jason that Emily Blunt is in it :)
DeleteHe doesn't care about Emily. Now, if Sophia Vergara were in it, he'd have the tickets in hand already lol.
Deletebut but but Emily is so perdy....
DeleteI thought you said Theresa was perdy! You did! You did!
Deleteshe's purdy, Emily is perdy :)
