DreamWorks Pins Latest Toy-Adaptation Hopes on View-Master: The Movie

· Having coaxed more than $1.5 billion to date from its two Transformers trysts with Hasbro, DreamWorks has hopped into bed with Mattel for a movie based on its action-packed, 3-D View-Master toy. In a comment since removed from his Twitter feed, screenwriter Brad Caleb Kane likened the project to "the old '80s Amblin movies: Goonies, Young Sherlock ... in that vein," thus triggering a garage-sale gold rush around Hollywood for the next discarded children's activity and the 50-cent VHS tape that will influence its monumental big-screen adaptation.
