Just when you thought Hollywood couldn’t find yet another source to mine for movie ideas – Michael Eisner hires a writer to adapt comics found on a bubble gum wrapper.

Yes, the man who used to be in charge at Disney has nabbed newcomer Mark Hammer to write a script based on the Bazooka Joe character (below), which is used to advertise the gum.

The character, who wears a mysterious eye patch (who wants to bet they try to forge an origin story around it?) gets into various scrapes assisted by a group of friends.

There’s the likes of Pesty, Mort, Toughie, Hungry Herman, Jane and a dog called Walkie Talkie. We’re not making this up.

Say what?? :lol: At least it's something ORIGINAL.

Hey, if they're handing out free bubblegum at the theater I'm there!!! Hey I may even stay and watch the movie!!!

At least they are not remaking another TV show!! :lol:

Gum wrapper idea is an original idea. I'm not sure it will work.

I think I'd rather see a movie about Pud the comic character from the Double Bubble bubblegum wrapper.
