Marvin the Martian will be traveling to theaters in the near future, likely with the intent on blowing up the Earth once again, reports Variety. A new feature film blending live-action and CGI is reported to be in the works for Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment. Producer Steve Crystal, a former WB executive who has a first-look deal with Alcon through his Charlie Co. shingle has been developing this project with intents to release it in the Christmas season.
Crystal will produce alongside Alcon's Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove. Chuck Jones created the character and had his first appearance pop up on "Looney Tunes" in 1948. Crystal is looking for writers and a director.
Plot Concept: The story revolves around Marvin coming to Earth to destroy Christmas but being prevented from doing so when he's trapped in a gift box.

But really, I'm sure there's a lot more to this, and maybe it could really be good, but it doesn't read that way. Being a fan of the SHORTS...I guess you could say I'm intrigued, but doubtful for this as a feature film.
