Marvin the Martian was a planned computer animated / live action comedy science film starring Marvin the Martian. The film was supposed to be the second live action Looney Tunes movie and was intended for a 7 October 2011 release, but the movie was quietly removed from the schedule.

History[]

On 29 July 2008, Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment announced plans for a live action/computer-animated film starring Mike Myers as the voice of Marvin and Christopher Lee as Santa Claus. Test footage of the film in the form of a short called Yule Be Sorry (along with the Eddie Murphy vehicle Hong Kong Phooey) was leaked by director Alex Zimmerman on 28 December 2012.[citation needed] (August 2017)

Plot[]

The film would have involved Marvin, some years after the events of Space Jam, trying to destroy the Earth during Christmas by becoming a competitor of Santa Claus' but being prevented from destroying the Earth when Santa wraps him inside a gift box. Alcon compared the project to other films such as Racing Stripes and My Dog Skip.

Trivia[]

  • For unknown reasons, Marvin would have been CGI instead of being hand drawn like in the other Looney Tunes live action movies.
