Dog Farts at New Line
New Line Cinema has optioned the best-selling children’s book “Walter the Farting Dog” and has brought in Eric Champnella to adapt the picture book into a live-action feature.
The book, written by William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray and illustrated by Audrey Colman, tells the tale of perpetually gas-passing pooch Walter, who gets adopted from the pound by a family. The family’s father eventually has enough and says the canine is pound-bound. But that night, two crooks break into the home, and Walter unleashes a hideous cloud, saving the day.
The book made its way to the top of the New York Times best-seller list and spawned a sequel, “Walter the Farting Dog: Trouble at the Yard Sale”. A third book is in the planning stages.
Champnella, a former stand-up comic, co-wrote the upcoming Disney film “Mr. 3000” starring Bernie Mac.
