Well, this just came out of nowhere....

Apparently, Universal is deep in production of a live-action film starring its' famed crazed avian, but with a catch: it's only going to be released theatrically in Brazil, with a US home video release more than likely to follow. The film's plot revolves around a guy named Lance Walters (get it?) who wants to forcibly evict Woody out from his forest habitat, resulting in an "epic turf war". Oh, and the director of this thing's resume consists of masterpieces such as "Jingle All The Way 2" and "Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2", so you can all rest assured that this is in good hands.

Always loved Woody Woodpecker and those other characters like Chilly Willy.

Ill definitely watch it when it becomes available but it's too bad it's not getting better support.

A new cartoon probably would have better to do first.

Honestly, I'd much rather watch whatever Illumination had in store. My best guess is that Universal is waiting to see how this does before they give it the go-ahead for development.
