The Channel 3 Movie Coming to a Theatre Next Summer!

News Item: Hollywood Reporter, July 8, 2009- HOLLYWOOD:DreamWorks is in negotiations to acquire movie rights to the View Master toy from Mattel (which owns Fisher-Price) and has asked Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to do some “Transformers”-style magic on it.

Wot say? A movie based on a toy? Pffft- we were way ahead of Hollywood when Kimm and I took our considerable advance monies from Posh Boy and bought the movie rights to Klik Klaks: The New World Order!

Gee, is Hollywood running out of original ideas? Ya think?

Well, it was bound to happen. After the recent Germs bio pic

and the worldwide success of your old pals in One More for all My True Friends, a major motion picture studio has come calling for the film rights to our amazing story. Hardly a surprise, considering the valuable audience profile of CH3…let’s take a look, shall we?

Much like the Dogtown story received its dramatic account well after the documentary, the idea is to tell the CH3 story in full cinescope, with major hollywood stars in the roles of the CH3 crew.

Of course, the major hurdle proved to be casting this epic. I mean, how ya gonna find 4 mainstream actors that can convincingly portray your heroes on the silver screen?!

The actor portraying Alf had to have the winning combination of street smarts and sensitivity…..

First calls went out to Vin Diesel :

and funnyman Dave Atell….

These choices seemed viable, but Alfredo nixed them as not reflecting his own proud Latino Heritage. We’re pretty happy with his final choice:

Oh, we know what you’re thinking for the role of Anthony…

Easy, right? Let’s put in the calls to Keanu or Depp…..

Well sir, Ant had final approval and he said fuck those pretty boys! The negotiations and proposals went on for weeks…..
Ant saw himself portrayed by someone like Tough guy Danny Trejo:

While the rest of us thought charcater actor Luis Guzman might capture his free spirit……..!

Surprisingly, Ovitz put in a personal call from CAA, seems like one of his A listers wanted a crack at the role of the boyish bass player. Although skeptical, we agreed to let this Hollywood vet read for the part and he knocked it out of the park! We couldn’t be more pleased with the man set to portray Anthony Thompson next year!

Next up: The casting call that put Hollywood on Red Alert! Yes, the lead actors that would portray Mike and Kimm in the movie. These roles would have to be considered among the classic Male duos of all time…..

And don’t give me that Clooney/Pitt nonsense! Those closeted fairies wouldn’t be able to last ten minutes in the real world of hardcore punk!

But who then would deliver the magical chemistry that saw childhood friends Magrann and Gardener become the worldwide sensations you know them as today?

We went through the obvious hollywood duos to no avail:

The star search continues as millions of dollars are wasted on the halted production! Please send your own ideas to:
