Scarjo up for the lead.

 

[Abudefduf]

Awwwww. Bestiality has never looked this cute.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Stock up on honey, I would have thought is the key to making it work.

For Context:

"This book made me laugh and cry. Bittersweet, unsentimental and as honest as a book about a bear boyfriend can be." (Jojo Moyes, bestselling author of ME BEFORE YOU)

"This resonant, absurdist modern fable is a joyful discovery." (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW)

"A sort of alt-Disney meets Jane Austen, this delightful confection showcases an unconventional relationship that will pull giggles and snuffles from romance lovers." (BOOKLIST)

"MY BOYFRIEND IS A BEAR is an incredibly fun, flirtatious, and hilarious romance that I found myself uncontrollably laughing out loud "to! Farris and Ribon are amazing at comedic timing, and the art is just so delightful." (Leila del Luca (Shutter, Afar))

On second thought... this seems like it might be better without context, which is why while fun and absurdist, this is a REALLY BAD IDEA for a live action film. What works as absurdist in cartoons can easily come off creepy and weird in live action.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Eh, I don't know the comic or whatnot, but this just feels like a white gal dating a black brotha, but they replace him with a bear. I must be high and looking way into things. lol

 

[Brutikus]

There's a fair few in the gay community who would identify with this title.

 

[Lily Adler]

Hey if OctoDad got away with something similar...

 

[Alien Anal]

Sounds great, I dont know the source material but my first thoughts are to approach it in a Swiss Army Man style and it could work.

My first thought was get whoever made this:

or Colossal if this is less of a comedy

This sounds kinda weird.

 

[Mad Ones]

Came in here expecting LGBT content but only found heterosexual nonsense with animals.

 

[CJ]

This movie's gonna be a box office disaster.

Lol. Apparently, the protagonist of this comic is so straight that she would rather date a bear than another woman. No Homo: The Graphic Novel.

Because thats how it works.

 

[Arachnerd]

The heck does her being 'straight' have to do with anything pushing "heterosexual nonsense"?

Anyway, this is most likely gonna suck hard.

Usual peanut gallery drivel.


And yep....I don't know who thinks this is a great idea.

^ When you just really want to get mad at someone/something but have no good reason to, so you start asking nonsensical questions.

I'm making fun of the premise of this book. Does that disturb you?

 

[Arachnerd]

I was responding to Mad Ones' comment, btw.

 

[Abudefduf]

Oh, sorry. I thought your post was directed at me.

 

[Melpardus]

Lol. Apparently, the protagonist of this comic is so straight that she would rather date a bear than another woman. No Homo: The Graphic Novel.

Ha, "No Homo". I see what you did[n't] there.

 

[Abudefduf]

Ha, "No Homo". I see what you did[n't] there.

No Homo, yes Ursus.

I had a different type of bear in mind

Usual peanut gallery drivel.

Lighten up lol
