FIRST LOOK: Drake Bell as 23-year-old Timmy Turner! 17 Comments Posted by Lauren on 23 Jul 2010 |
 Nickelodeon has green-lit a live-action TV-movie adaptation of its hit animated series The Fairly Oddparents, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
The movie, titled A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up Timmy Turner!, will mix live action with CG animation and will follow a now-23-year-old Timmy, to be played by Nickelodeon vet Drake Bell (Drake & Josh). Seinfeld's Jason Alexander and Curb Your Enthusiasm's Cheryl Hines play Timmy's godparents Cosmo and Wanda.
"It's so much fun to see our animated characters come to life," Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon's programming president, said in a statement. "And who better to bring grown up Timmy Turner to life than Drake Bell, who himself grew up on our air and still remains one of our most popular Nick stars ever."
The animated series focused on 10-year-old Timmy's refusal to grow up, so he could keep his fairy godparents. In the movie, an older Timmy is still in the fifth grade and living at home, but all that changes when he begins to have feelings for Tootie (Victorious' Daniella Monet), a nerdy girl who has grown into a beautiful woman and returned to town. Timmy must make a choice between his godparents or growing up and being in love.
"I think fans of the series will love seeing the characters in this new way," creator and executive producer Butch Hartman said. "Our mix of live-action and special effects animation will make them look 'hyper-real' and our goal is to make this movie as visually exciting as it will be funny." [Read More]

He looks so weird in all that peptobismo pink! lol. I am so going to watch this!! All those kids who got to film it with him are so lucky. the U.S. might be lucky and see it right away but in Canada they usually don't air things on tv on the same date. so who knows when im going to get to see this. its not fair.

The film's story actually sounds really good. The ending seems quite predictable and although I'm 15 now, I still love Nick and I enjoyed watching the Fairly Odd Parents cartoon - especially Cosmo.

It's a good plot, might be a really fun movie. Must be weird seeing him play a kid in a grown up's body though lol

Drake looks so cute! He'll do an AWESOME job playing this role.

Drake's manager posted on his twitter that Drake's picture was in the L.A. Times. If it was for the movie, then that must mean that this movie is going to be greatly promoted!

the album gonna be in 2011???!!!!! but he said he was going to finish it when he gets back from Canada, so its not gonna be in 2011!!!!!!

Sarah, keep in mind that even with the recorded songs, an album might still take awhile to put together. There are things like editing, deciding how it should be designed, and other factors. Just be patient. It will come eventually.

YYAAA thats true

I think it might still take awhile. Remember two years ago when he first started to talk about it? He said he wanted to do a really big 2 disc conceptual record, kinda like a 1960s Panam flight thing. I think he completely scrapped that idea so he had to kinda start over a little bit.
