Script Sale: New Line Cinema Likes WALTER THE FARTING DOG
June 1st, 2004
From The Hollywood Reporter, New Line Cinema has optioned the best-selling children's book "Walter the Farting Dog" and has hired Eric Champnella (MR. 3000) to adapt. The picture book is written by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray and illustrated by Audrey Colman. The storyline centers on one consistantly gassed up pooch, Walter, who is adopted from the pound by a family, whose father eventually can't take the gas-passing dog and is ready to return him back to the pound. That night two robbers break into the home, and Walter unleashes a hideous fart sending the robbers away and saving the family. The book was a New York Times best-seller (children's picture category) and has a sequel, "Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale." A third book is in the planning stages.
