Remember ALF? He’s back. In movie form.

If you’re a child of the 80s you surely remember ALF! This Alien Life Form was the star of a successful sitcom that no one cares about anymore. But hey, no one cared about Garfield or Alvin and the Chipmunks, but that didn’t stop them from turning into successful film franchises! That’s right, there’s an ALF movie in the works!

Hollywood Reporter tells us that Sony Pictures Animation has aquired the rights to the franchise and plans on making a live action and CG hybrid film. That’s right, no more puppet, he’ll just be bad CG this time around! Will Gordon Shumway still be from Melmac? Will he once again be shacking up with the Tanner family? Will he still try to eat cats? If he does, will Seth McFarlane be involved? Will he be going to the city like those stupid Smurfs? Is there any chance this movie won’t be horrible?

If you were a fan of ALF back in the day and hate yourself, why not pick up the DVDs which include episodes which are conveniently edited for syndication!

Apologies if my tone comes off as anti ALF. I really did enjoy this show back in the day, I just can’t imagine this revival, which is surely going after idiotic children and their even stupider parents, being worth anyone’s time, but hey let’s reserve final judgement until the movie’s release…

Powet.tv continued coverage of news related to this movie depends entirely on how much it will look like it’s going to be similar to the Smurfs.
