Universal is planning a big-budget live-action movie based on the nearly forgotten Hasbro/Kenner character (and his green nemesis, Stretch Monster), with writer Steve Oedekerk (BRUCE ALMIGHTY) now coming up with new and interesting ways for a curiously rubbery person to extend their limbs.
Not much else is known about the project except that it will aim for nostalgia and involve the extreme extension of body parts. A STRETCH feature has been in the works for over a decade, with Danny Devito, Tim Allen and Jackie Chan all once rumored to deform to great lengths.
