Aykroyd, Farris, Timberlake Eyeing Yogi Bear

Warner Bros.’ live action and CG animation hybrid feature adaptation of Yogi Bear is picking up cast members more quickly than pic-a-nic baskets.

The studio is reportedly in talks with Dan Aykroyd to provide the voice of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon star, with Anna Faris set to perform on the live-action end of things as a documentary filmmaker. Justin Timberlake also is circling the project as the voice of Boo Boo, Yogi’s little buddy.

Eric Brevig is set to direct the film from a script by Brad Copeland, who reworked an earlier draft by Joshua Stern and Jeff Vintimilia.

The studio is looking to start filming the movie in New Zealand next month.

    It is a bloody shame that Lunt and Fontanne are dead.
