Dianne-TX Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 wouldn't this make a good movie? Every time I read one of these books I can just picture a funny, kids movie. I wonder how I could get paid for pitching the idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 You'd probably only get paid if you wrote the screenplay. :001_smile: My 5 yo dd has one of these books and she loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanga Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Everything I know about house keeping and cooking I learned from Ameilia Bedelia and everything I know about parenting I learned from Mrs. Piggle Wiggle! ;) Please start on the screenplay immediately!

SquirrellyMama Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I hadn't thought of it before but i think you are right. It would be a great G movie. Not so many of those anymore. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how I could get paid for pitching the idea? :hurray: Now that's a movie I'd go see! Warning, one of my slightly off topic stories: My mother has volunteered to clean my overworked sister's house once a week. She's retired and enjoys it and can't stand a messy house. Problem is...one week she spilled bleach on the carpet, the next week she ripped the linoleum moving the refrigerator, the next week she broke a comemorative dish, (you get the picture). I told my sister, "You're going to have to fire Amelia Bedelia". (Of course she went and snitched on me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayT Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 NO,NO,NO, I hate Amelia Bedeila!!! My kids love her!!! After I read two of them out loud I refused to ever do it again!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 it's already listed on Movie Insider, which has Tom Hanks listed as producer. According to this, Peggy Parish's nephew is writing the script. Wikipedia listed an Amelia Bedelia movie being released back in the 80s.

KayT Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 :crying: Ouch! That hurts. Sorry!!!

I wonder how I could get paid for pitching the idea? Great idea! My family LOVES Amelia Bedelia books. Well, we used too. I haven't seen any of them off the shelf lately. I still think they would love a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiegirl Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I know the actress that would be perfect for that role!!! Joan Cusack! I think another great kids movie would be based on Junie B. Jones... saw on TV this morning that movie about Despereaux is coming out at holidays..can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedfamily Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 ...I think another great kids movie would be based on Junie B. Jones... I would only watch a Junie B movie if she spent the whole two hours in "time out". :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I read two of them out loud I refused to ever do it again!!!!!!! :lol: I don't like her either. We've only read one book. It really bothers me when she gets everything wrong. I don't know that I could watch a movie but I bet kids would love it! I never liked those screwball comedies either where everything is so mixed up. I keep wanting to yell at everyone. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamagistra Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I know the actress that would be perfect for that role!!! Joan Cusack! Or Drew Barrymore. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for getting the big check. Can't wait to see it. The kids will love it! I hope it's "appropriate". Sometimes kid's movies are borderline, you know? Hopefully it's just enjoyable without any questionable stuff. Thanks for sharing this info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
