(via Variety)
Warner Bros. is visiting the vault of their animated properties and bringing feature adaptations up on their development slate.
Specifically, a feature project entitled “Acme”, presumably the same Acme that is on all those anvils and boxes of dynamite, featuring the world of Looney Tunes is now set and Steve Carell will be starring in it as well.
Perhaps, if this goes well, it might be one step closer to a Space Jam 2?
Jackie Kashian Taping First Hour Comedy Special at Acme in Minneapolis
Though we get spoiled with her comedic awesomeness here in LA, Jackie Kashian is going closer to her roots in Minneapolis, MN at The Acme Comedy Company to record her first hour comedy special.
It’s right after Christmas on Dec. 26th and 27th, so it’s the perfect balance from doing all that obligatory family stuff on the Christmas and Christmas Eve.
If you’re in or around or can get to the Acme Comedy Company on those dates, we ask that you don’t miss this taping.
1) Baron Vaughn on Conan. Also pick up his album “Raised by Cable”.
3) Roseanne has “Tracy Morgan-like” appearance on Conan.
4) The ACME Comedy Theatre has announced that will have an open mic starting on Sept. 27th. More details to come.
5) Speaking of Conan (again), don’t miss out on the Sklar Brothers performing tonight (TBS 11PM) or to pick up their fantastic album “Hendersons & Daughters”.
6) Connected Comedy gathered late night debuts of stand-ups on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. We think you should take a minute or an hour and check it out.
7) Congratulations are also in order for the web series, Runyon: Just Above Sunset, starring Eddie Pepitone, directed by Troy Conrad, taking Best in Show at the Burbank Film Festival Shorts Contest.
8) Halle Kiefer and Adam Frucci discuss whether or not Whitney will survive its ad campaign on Splitsider. If NBC is going to pull shit like this (via @thatramosgirl), we think not.
