Back when a live action Marmaduke movie was first announced last year, I can recall a lot of people joking about other comic strips that would make for even more ridiculous film adaptations. One of the titles that had to be at the top of the list was Bil Keane's The Family Circus, the notoriously unfunny single panel comic that most people would agree very rarely has an actual punchline. Supposedly, it has become the most widely syndicated comic strip in the world... go figure. As you might expect, Hollywood has been knocking at Bil Keane's door for years, trying to get the rights to make a Family Circus movie, but finally producer John Baldecchi (Deep Rising, The Mexican, Ultraviolet) managed to get a hold of him and negotiate a deal. Yep, that's right... Billy, Dolly and the rest of the family are all coming to the big screen.
