The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

[zackisthewalrus]

NEW YORK - Viacom's Paramount Pictures will release a SpongeBob SquarePants movie in late 2014 as it looks to kick its animation output into a higher gear, Viacom president and CEO Philippe Dauman said Tuesday.

"We will be releasing a SpongeBob movie at the end of 2014, which will serve to start off or be one of our films that starts off our new animation effort," he told a Deutsche Bank media and telecom investor conference in Palm Beach, Fla. His appearance was webcast.

Paramount announced the formation of its new animation unit last July with a target of one release starting in 2014. It has previously not mentioned a specific project. However, Paramount picked up rights to Penny Arcade's science fiction comic New Kid in June and is planning an adaptation of it. The studio tapped The Book of Eli writer Gary Whitta to pen the script and Mary Parent and Cale Boyter are producing via their Paramount-based Disruption Entertainment.

Paramount has distributed animation fare from Jeffrey Katzenberg's DreamWorks Animation, but that deal is coming to an end at the close of this year. Dauman has repeatedly said that his company's studio would be fine without DWA, which has also weighed its options, including self-distributing its movies. But Dauman has not directly ruled out a potential renewal of the DWA deal.

Viacom released a SpongeBob film several years ago, but back then, Nickelodeon did not have as much of a presence around the world, Dauman said Tuesday in touting the outlook for the new feature.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie hit the silver screen late in 2004 and grossed $85.4 million domestically and $54.7 million abroad, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. The film saw SpongeBob take leave from the town of Bikini Bottom to track down King Neptune's stolen crown.

Paramount did not provide additional deals on the new SpongeBob film.

Dauman also once again said that the Paramount animation productions will be a new opportunity for his company as they will each cost less than $100 million, and the animation unit will be only 30 to 40 people strong, allowing for good financial returns. Thanks to modern technology, the films still look "great" despite the lower cost, he said. He also lauded his studio team for winning an animation Oscar for Rango, the studio's first fully-owned CGI effort. "We're very proud of that," he said.

David Stainton, the head of Paramount's animation effort, resigned abruptly earlier in February. That has left Paramount Motion Picture Group president Adam Goodman in charge.

What do you all think? Personally, I'm only going to see this if series creator Stephen Hillenburg returns to the writing table. He was one of the main story people on the show before and during the movie. After the movie, he kind of drifted to the wayside, and the show isn't nearly as good now as it was. I could see him returning for the movie though...

SpongeBob has worn out his welcome in our house. Even our four-year-old can't get interested, and the 7-year-old is into Ninjago and doesn't watch much of anything else that is animated.

SpongeBob will not be getting out money.

SpongeBob will not be getting our money.

I'm sure the producers will weep after reading that.

What is it with this trend of releasing movies 10 years after their previous installment? First Indiana Jones, then Men in Black III, now this .

Woah, calm down, dude. I mean, yes, the new SpongeBob is bad nowadays, but the sequel could be good. Maybe Stephen Hillenburg is coming back.

[estefan]

I'm not particularly fond of SpongeBob, but to look at the positive side, it's always nice to see a major studio producing a hand-drawn animated film in this day and age.

[jpanimation]

What is it with this trend of releasing movies 10 years after their previous installment? First Indiana Jones, then Men in Black III, now this .

Don’t forget The Hobbit. It'll be released exactly 10 years after the last Lord of the Rings installment.

[rexcrk]

^^ close. Eleven years later.

[dvdjunkie]

Maybe this film will have the revealing title "SpongeBob Gaypants" and we will really and truly know who he is and why he is bad for kids under 10.

Wow. That's uncalled for. So what if he's gay? He's not but he he were gay it'd be fine because you know what? Gay people exist and they are not some kind of shameful thing that kids should be scared of.

-Skyler

[dvdjunkie]

There goes quick judgment of a person again. First this is a running joke where I work, we all refer to him as "Gay" pants, and you know what? Over 30% of the people I work with are gay. I have no problem with gay people and you are correct that children shouldn't be made afraid of them.

Our joke at work is because the writers and producers of this show are gay and they were going to originally call it "Gay" pants, but figured that it wouldn't make a schedule in our closed mind society.

Don't jump up and down until you know all the facts, please!!!

I have a Gay brother and sister, among my 11 siblings, so I don't need to be preached to about this subject.

My Physical Therapist is gay, so I don't really care about things like that. That is so trivial. I am a lot more open-minded that you give me credit for.

[JiminyCrick91]

Having gay family and coworkers still does not explain the Why he is bad for kids under 10 part...

[Jules]

NO

lol

[oldtimer12347]

I agree to those who say this sponge has overstayed his welcome, though Spongebob still remains better than most of the Nicktoons in my opinion (except for Penguins of Madagascar and maybe TUFF Puppy, though Legend of Korra is coming out soon so there's another). Maybe this movie will be the true series finale of the show.

[TsWade2]

AAAAAH CRAP! I HATE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

[rs_milo_whatever]

I love SpongeBob, but I'm not entirely sure how successful this would be. I mean, it's not like Toy Story or any other franchise that it went away for years to come back to theaters and so that it could become an event, this show has been airing non-stop for over a decade. People like it, but it's not what is used to be.

I mean, I'd probably go watch it, but as soon as there's a concept and/or trailer I could change my mind.

[TheValentineBros]

AAAAAH CRAP! I HATE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

I only hated the new crap from 2005 to present, except for the episode, Krusty Towers.

I dunno, just give me the old episodes any day.

[DisneyJedi]

Really, it's bad that they screwed with the characters to the point that Mr. Krabs is too much of an @$$hole for our sympathies and forced us to sympathize a bit more for Plankton. But this?

This is just unnecessary!
