The illustration above is called Sweet Halloween Dreams and was drawn by Alex Panagopoulos and posted to DeviantArt.Com, a site that holds thousands of drawings, paintings, wallpapers, you-name-it, most of it breathtakingly original and beautiful.
The way we here at TVWriter™ hear it, Dwayne Johnson, AKA The Rock, saw the drawing and fell in love with it. A little sweet talk here, a shove there, and New Line Films was the proud owner of the film rights to Sweet Halloween Dreams and busily at work finding a writer and director to implement The Rock’s vision of what a film centered around a teddy bear protecting his boy (or maybe it’s a girl?) should be.
