Bubbles: Dan Harmon to Produce Stop Motion Michael Jackson Chimp Movie
 
Quote:

After topping the 2015 Black List, screenwriter Isaac Adamson‘s Bubbles has found its path to the big screen. Deadline reports that the project, a Michael Jackson biopic that tells the life story of the King of Pop from the point of view of the musician’s chimpanzee, will be produced by Dan Harmon. Harmon’s credits range from creating Community and co-creating Rick and Morty (with Justin Roiland) to executive producing Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson’s recent Academy Award-nominated Anomalisa. Bubbles will move forward as a feature film at Starburns Industries, the animation studio responsible for Anomalisa (as well as for Rick and Morty and Community‘s own impressive second season stop-motion Christmas episode).

When it hit the Black List last year, Bubbles featured the following official synopsis:

A baby chimp is adopted by the Pop star Michael Jackson. Narrating his own story, Bubbles the Chimp details his life within The King of Pop’s inner circle through the scandals that later rocked Jackson’s life and eventually led to Bubbles’ release.

I'd rather we just let the poor soul rest in peace instead of constantly bringing up all the accusations and inner turmoil and whatnot that most likely drove him to an early grave!

This is the guy behind Community and Rick & Morty. It's supposed to be funny. I'm a huge MJ fan, but you gotta be able to laugh.

Yea, but I don't think jokes about suspected pedophilia are gonna go over too well with some people. It may be funny in the online world... heck even skit shows like Robot Chicken joked about it. But in a motion picture? I don't think so.

Soooo is this supposed to be satirical?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a stop motion biopic before… outside of Gumby of course.
