A movie based on the Where’s Waldo? books has been in the works for a while, though without much movement, after it was first announced back in 2011. That project now appears to have found some momentum, however, with Seth Rogen and his frequent collaborator, Evan Goldberg, joining the film as producers.

The live-action film will reportedly follow inventor/janitor Waldo on an adventure through time and space in the spirit of the best-selling series of vividly illustrated books created by Martin Handford.

The Tracking Board initially reported the pair’s involvement with the film, and it’s unknown whether Rogen and Goldberg will take on a role beyond producers on the project. In the past, the pair have been responsible for writing, directing, or starring in various films they collaborated on, including The Interview, Superbad, Neighbors, and This is the End.

A subsequent report from Deadline suggests that, along with bringing Rogen and Goldberg to the project, MGM Studios has also enlisted the aid of screenwriters Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir to develop the script for the film. Hunter and Shaffir previously worked with Rogen and Goldberg on the script for the holiday comedy The Night Before and are also collaborating with the pair on the upcoming, “R”-rated animated comedy Sausage Party.

The Where’s Waldo? movie was initially announced in 2011, but seemed to stall out in development over the last few years. The film has had a long list of screenwriters attached to its script at various points, including Meet the Fockers writer Marc Hyman and Exodus: Gods and Kings writer Adam Cooper, among others.

The film would be the first live-action adaptation of Where’s Waldo? to hit the screen, but not the first adaptation overall, as a 13-episode animated television series aired on CBS in the early ’90s.

Where to watch the John Wick movies for free

With John Wick: Chapter 4 out now and receiving rapturous praise from critics and audiences alike, there is one question that many people are now asking: What is the greatest action film of the 21st century? Mad Max: Fury Road, Skyfall, The Raid, The Dark Knight, and Mission Impossible: Fallout all have compelling cases. However, compiling the best action films of the last 23 years and not mentioning John Wick is a crime. Arguments could be made for all the John Wick movies; that's how strong they are in the action genre.

John Wick started with a simple premise. Wick (The Matrix's Keanu Reeves, who is no stranger to action), a former hit man, returns to the criminal world he left behind after the arrogant son of a Russian mobster kills his dog, which was a gift from his now-deceased wife. Hell-bent on revenge, Wick hunts down the son with reckless abandon, killing every single person who stands in his way. John Wick was a sleeper hit in 2014, and nine years later, the story about a legendary hit man mourning the loss of his wife and dog is a global franchise. The fourth film, John Wick: Chapter 4, just earned the highest opening weekend gross of the franchise.
