Some fun news for all you Cosby fans.

(Kenan Thompson Confirmed for Fat Albert Source: The Hollywood Reporter Wednesday, March 10, 2004

Kenan Thompson (Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Saturday Night Live) is now confirmed to be the leading man in the adaptation of Bill Cosby's famed CBS cartoon, Fat Albert.

The 20th Century Fox film follows Fat Albert and his posse of friends, who come to life when they walk out of the cartoon and into the real world. The film will start with animation, move into live-action and end in the animated world.

The project is gearing up for a mid-April start with a cast that also includes Omarion of B2K fame as Reggie, Raven-Symone (That's So Raven) in the animated part of Danielle, Jermaine Williams (ER) as Mush Mouth, Jeremy Suarez (Brother Bear) in the animated role of Russell and Aaron Frazier as Weird Harold.

Director Joel Zwick (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) will direct the project he boarded nearly a year ago.)

Not quite the version I expected (I wanted an R-Rated version like they did on South Park with Fat Albert as a sexist bigot, but current consensus swings against me), but this could be a fun and wacky kids film.
