Good grief.  It seems as if this is really going to happen.  You may not think it a particularly big deal that someone’s going to make a Waldo movie, but you’re ignoring the manifold steps involved in such a project.  At some point a man or woman entered a room and told a group of people that they thought it would be a good idea to make a flick about a stripy-jumpered chump who has the good grace to hide himself in a crowd.  Those people agreed.  They then approached another group of people and asked them for millions of dollars to create a movie about the aforementioned twat in a hat.  They also agreed.  At some point they will actually make a movie about this bespectacled lurker, and on its release many thousands of people will spend up to eleven dollars to watch it.  A significant percentage of those people will enjoy the movie and subsequently spend up to thirty dollars purchasing the DVD or Blu-ray so that they can find Waldo all over again.

The preceding paragraph may have been the dullest thing since Grey’s Anatomy, but I’m sure you can appreciate that it took very little time, effort and money to create.  This movie, meanwhile, will require many months and an eight-figure sum of money to complete.  If you do decide to head to the multiplex for this one, you may like to spice th experience up by playing a game of “Where’s the fuckwit?” in the pre-film period.  The answer is “every seat in the theatre”.  Including yours.  But seriously, have a good time with it.
