The popular set of children’s books – known as Where’s Waldo? in the US – will be turned into a full-length feature by Rogen and his creative partner Evan Goldberg, according to The Tracking Board. The two have previously worked together on a number of projects, including Pineapple Express, This Is the End and The Interview. | |
The adaptation has been in the works at a number of studios but has now landed at MGM. Details of the plot are under wraps, but an early iteration of the script revolved around a time-travel plot that saw Wally accidentally find himself years away from his girlfriend. | The adaptation has been in the works at a number of studios but has now landed at MGM.
