Warner Bros is making a film version of The Future Is Wild, the documentary series and future-imagineering project that consulted scientists and then animated what the far future might look like. For those of you keeping score at home, that makes this the second evolution-linked project of the day.
The Future is Wild project includes a successful cartoon / live-action series, books, comics, theme park rides and animatronic exhibits that have travelled around the world, looking at what the Earth might look like (with or without us, and assuming we don't manage to pollute everything) in 5 million, 100 million or 200 million years. That little dude in the picture here is Rufus the Reef Glider, who might be around in 100 million years.
The deal was struck between the studio, producer John H. Williams' Vanguard Films (currently working on Space Chimps 2, god help us) and series creator John Adams (no, not that one).
