The Jonas Brothers are going to stink, and that's not a prediction about their musical future. No, this is entirely about the plot of their first feature film, which is being adapted from a series of children's books titled Walter the Farting Dog, reports Variety. The books look kind of cute, actually. It's hard to resist a dog who looks so embarrassed by his own odiferous wind. The movie, like the book series, is about a "fat dog with severe flatulence" who helps to rescue his new family using his intestinal fortitude. Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers will be doing their music thing, which, as far as I can tell, is where the movie will differ from the books.
Did these guys sell their souls to the Devil, or something? At some point, did this band of brothers sit down with the Big Dude from downstairs and sign a contract in blood? In exchange for their Disney Channel success, their musicianship, and their artfully touseled hair, they had to agree to star in a movie about a flatulent dog. More importantly, what did the dog who will eventually play the titular role do to deserve this fate? 20th Century Fox hopes to get a franchise out of this, which means potentially many movies for the portly pooch. Are they going to give him a little doggie fat suit? Digitally alter his physique? Feed him bacon and cheese until his veins flow with congealed grease? (Which I think is how Russell Crowe did it.) Maybe if that chihuahua from Beverly Hills starts pigging out now, he'll be in shape by the time shooting starts.
