Bazooka Joe Movie in the Works
May 30th, 2009 by Kelly
Proving that Hollywood really is completely out of ideas, The Hollywood Reporter is claiming that studio exec Michael Eisner has hired a screenwriter to develop a script for a big screen adaptation of the Bazooka Joe comic strips. That’s right– a movie based on a bubble gum wrapper. I wonder if it will be as good as that video game based on the 7up spots?
For those of you who don’t know, Bazooka Joe is a bubble gum that comes packaged in a wrapper that contains a 3 to 4 panel comic strip that attempts to be mildly amusing and usually fails miserably (See example, above).
The movie– which will mildly confuse you and then lose flavor after 5 minutes– is tentativley scheduled to be released on Halloween. Execs worried that it might face tough box office competition from Paramount Pictures’ romantic comedy Peanutbutter Kisses but then realized that everyone hates Peanutbutter Kisses and will probably just let that movie sit in a grab bag for a year until ants get at it and they have to throw it away.
Funny or Die has obtained this exclusive, leaked footage from the new movie that tells the story of how Bazooka Joe got his trademark eye patch. (NSFW)

Hey! You Guys! This looks like it’s going to be bettere even than the Garbage Pail Kids Movie!!!!!!!
I can’t read anymore comments. This one sums it all up!
This is why I don’t mind remakes. The remakes are much better than this shiz.
Oh Jesus no…. why are they doing this to us? What do they take us for?? Why would they waste the money on this?? Poor, poor Bazooka Joe…
“You can put a silencer in a gun!” lolz, classic. This video was funny as hell.
You are an idiot. Sorry, but if you found that video even mildly amusing you are a complete moron.
I predict a wave of writers who’s (good)movies have been rejected storming the offices of Michael Eisner and taking no prisoners…
Oh, man, thanks for reminding me about that 7-up game, I loved that game!!!
oh WOW, that cannot be real…who wrote that shit?? So terrible…No doubt that movie will go straight to DVD.
