“Stretch Armstrong”: The project that refuses to die

Per Deadline:

Another movie in Hasbro’s groundbreaking deal with Universal Pictures has bitten the dust. If you recall, Universal was planning a slate of films based on Hasbro board games beginning with Battleship. Then, the studio put Ouija, Clue, Monopoly and Magic, The Gathering in turnaround. Now, it’s Stretch Armstrong, which Universal was determined to make but which now has been picked up by Relativity Media. The Universal version had Taylor Lautner attached in a whopper of a deal to play the title character. I’ll let you know if it’s a stretch to say the Twilight Saga star is still attached.

This project has been around since at least the mid-90s and if I had to guess I’d say… oh… every writer in Hollywood has been gainfully employed writing a draft of it at one point or another including me!

Credit arbitration on this movie, if it ever actually gets produced, will be an uber bitch.
