Universal Pictures has picked up the rights to the Where’s Waldo property in hopes of turning it into a movie. There’s no word on what the plot will be about, but when the Where’s Waldo Now? options were over at Paramount it featured a time traveling hero.
The plot of that project revolved around Waldo, now 30, ending up traveling through time after accidentally activating a malfunctioning travel machine.
Adam Rifkin (interviewed on the Major Spoilers Podcast) had a hand in that script, but as of today, there is no word on who will write or direct the Universal version of the movie.

I await the Tetris, Scrabble and Mad Libs movies with bated breath.
Did you hear about Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe & Monopoly: The Movie? See, if it was me directing, the giant hat would just be a giant hat shuffling about and devouring people…
tetris the movie works, they tested the concept out on the radio.
Man, Hollywood’s really grasping for straws. Give it ten years then we get movies based on webcomics.
Side note: Where is Waldo in this picture?
it’s starting to feel like a joke.
