Action Movie Kid is Getting The Feature Film Treatment

You've seen those Action Movie Kid videos, right? DreamWorks animator Daniel Hashimoto utilized his skills with visual effects to turn some home movies featuring his young son, James, into cool VFX-filled clips involving rockets, explosions, lasers, and more. We've written about them a bunch of times on the site (here, here, here, and here).

Hashimoto co-wrote an Action Movie Kid book last year, and now THR reports that writer Andrew Dodge has been hired by Fox 2000 to write a screenplay based on the popular YouTube videos in an attempt to turn the concept into a full-length feature film. Dodge is best known for having written the Jason Bateman comedy Bad Words, but he also penned the screenplay for O'Lucky Day, an upcoming R-rated film starring Peter Dinklage as a guy who may or may not be a real leprechaun. The book is a pretty straightforward adaptation of the videos, centering on young James, a boy who uses his imagination to battle monsters, robots, and aliens. One assumes the movie will share that premise, but we'll have to see what Dodge does with it. Watch some of the Action Movie Kid videos below:
