Actor/writer/musician "Weird" Al Yankovic, has signed a production deal with the Cartoon Network, to write and direct a live-action show.
"Without going into too much detail, the good folks at Cartoon Network decided that they liked me and wanted me to provide some content for them – series, features, animation, live-action… they were open to anything, " he said."So after a couple years (yes, really) of the lawyers going back and forth, we finalized a deal – now all I have to do is start making stuff...the first thing I’m on track to do for them is, in fact, a live-action feature film.
Yankovic is into his third draft of the script.
