Chris Palmer is attached to direct "A Spell for Chameleon" for Warner Bros. Pictures. Wolfgang Petersen is producing via his Radiant Prods. banner along with David Benioff.
"Chameleon" is based on the Piers Anthony novel that kicked off his incredibly popular and long-running Xanth novel series. The story is set in the kingdom of Xanth, where everyone has magical powers, and centers on a young man who is exiled for having none. He later returns to reveal his true gift when the kingdom needs saving.
"The 'Harry Potter' books are about magic people and Muggles, humans who have no powers and, ironically, the people reading them are Muggles themselves," Palmer said. "So I like this idea of turning that around. I like how (the main character's) lack of magical abilities ends up saving the day."
The aim, he said, is to make "Chameleon" as an adult-skewing family movie.

Now if any of the readers out there are familiar with the Xanth novels but they are funny as hell. I have or have read just about all and loved them all. It's great that the author involves his fans by including just about all their suggestions and wordplays. Am looking forward to this.
A few entries ago I posted a trailer for Requiem for a Dream, a movie I highly recommend to all my fellow site members. I found this trailer mashup combining this movie with Toy Story 2. It's quite well done and hilarious to hear the potty mouth from such lovable characters.

And finally, a little cartoon to bring a smile to your face.
