God help us all.  When this pitch was first picked up back in 2008, Variety reported that the plot would be “a Christmas story, with Marvin coming to Earth to destroy Christmas but being prevented from doing so when he’s trapped in a gift box.”  That’s a whole movie?  Is his laser gun impervious to cardboard?

Anyway, the awful plot is moving forward, and they’re trying to get it ready by December 2011 as a live-action movie with a CG Marvin the Martian. They’ve hired director Alex Zamm of Inspector Gadget 2 and Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 infamy.  Wait, there’s going to be a Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2?  Oh FML.  They’ve hired Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove (Spin City, George Lopez, Just Shoot Me) to write the script.  They haven’t yet hired the voice of Marvin, but they’ve expressed an interest in Mike Myers, of course.  Just shoot me.
