Bob the Builder Movie.......starring Harrison Ford?!
From Imdb:
Hollywood hunk Harrison Ford is in talks to become the voice of popular children's TV character Bob The Builder - in a film version of the animated show. The Indiana Jones star - who worked as a carpenter himself before landing a career-changing role in Star Wars - was approached by movie bosses after hailing the series as one of his favorites. Ford - a father of four - is reportedly under pressure from his girlfriend actress Calista Flockhart to sign up to the project, because her two-year-old adopted son Liam is such a fan of the show. The 61-year-old actor is considering the offer from Viacom, makers of the American version of the hit British program, which is dubbed by American actors. A source at the BBC - who make the British show - says, "Viacom have been very good in keeping us in the loop. Ford came back to them to ask for more details about what was involved. People at Viacom seem to think he's been leaned on by Calista. Obviously it would be a fantastic coup to have the show voiced by Harrison Ford."
Wow. Thats pretty funny stuff. I wonder if Calista is going to be Wendy.
