Anna Faris might not have another SCARY MOVIE in her future, but it looks like there's another franchise following her fine form.

Faris will be the primary human in Warner Bros.' live-action/CG-animated YOGI BEAR movie (a la SCOOBY DOO, ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS, etc., etc.). She'll play a nature documentarian who pays a visit to Jellystone Park, only to encounter a mischievous talking bear with a fondness for pic-a-nic baskets and neckwear.

The studio wants Dan Aykroyd to lend his voice to the large hungry mammal, with Justin Timberlake potentially providing vocals for sidekick Boo-Boo. The project is being directed by FX guy Eric Brevig, who did the equally cartoonish JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.

Extra Tidbit: Yogi and several other Hanna-Barbera animal characters wore an incongruous collar so that only the head needed to be animated in much of the cartoon.

OMFG!!

First of all I hated Scooby Doo but Anna Faris and Yogi? I can TOTALLY see that happening.

I love YOGI!!! He's smarter than the average bear.

JT and Akroyd?

Not the kind of dream team I'd imagine or even really dig.

Sadly enough, there are people who probably do.

DAN AYKROYD?!?!?!? No no no, FUCK THAT. He's great and all but he is no Yogi Bear. I fucking loved Yogi Bear when i was little and making this movie Scooby-Doo-style is bad enough, but to cast someone who doesnt even sound remotley close to Daws Butler is just asanine!!

OK, I can sit through something like this...

Lose JT though... His SINGLE best role was in Southland tales, and I doubt most people have seen it. Say what you want, IDC... He's a terrible actor and should stick to making terrible music. How about a child actor, or a master imitator like Frank Caliendo?
