Deadpool got a hold of the script for us and came back with a glowing review.
It's great. It's amusing from opening to end. The writers did a marvellous job. Imagine thrashing your house as a kid. Now, multiply that by 10, it's that kind of insanity. I found the writing funnier then How The Grinch Stole Christmas. There are more set-ups and payoffs through out the screenplay. An example is Cousin Ray from Tampa, the Cat's alter ego. I won't say any more so as not to spoil the payoff. The Seussical universe is allowed to run riot upon a city and it's quite remarkable. Congratulations on the three writers for a job well done.

USA Today got the first look as Myers in Cat costume. In the article, Myers gushes over the script. "Not only is The Cat in the Hat my favorite children's book, it's one of the best scripts I've read in years," he says. "It's a huge honor to be part of a brilliant cast and a team of filmmakers dedicated to making a children's classic."

This project has been dead in the water for some time now but it has suddenly found new life with a new leading man. Mike Myers has agreed to play the title character. Former production designer Bo Welch will be directing the picture. Shooting should begin this fall at Universal Studios.

We'd better hope that Universal does a good job turning Dr. Seuss' story How the Grinch Stole Christmas into a movie. The reason is that they are close to a deal that would have them also transforming Seuss' classic story The Cat in the Hat into a movie as well.
If all proceeds as planned, Tim Allen will be playing the miscievous cat. The familiar story is that of the cat with the huge top hat taking apart the home of two children while their parents are out.
The rights to the story had belonged to DreamWorks, who also planned to use Allen in the role. The studio was never able to get the project going and the right reverted to the Seuss estate.
