Paramount Adapts Penny Arcade's "New Kid"
So, yeah. This is pretty cool. It's based on this strip.
I just hope that Mike and Jerry doesn't get kicked out of the creative process. Also, I hope it doesn't turn into Mars Needs Moms.

....of their one-offs, this is honestly the very last one that I would have wanted to be made into a film. It works as a one-off joke, which if they have any sense they'll ape like hell in the trailer, but honestly I can't really see this as anything more than another dumb kid's film. Any of their other ones would be good, even Lookouts would work better as a kid's film, I think, but my preference would have been to go with making a film adaptation of Automata.

Well they both think it could be "the biggest thing [they] ever do", so I'll assume they've got more behind it than what you can see in the comic.

Anyhoo, when I saw the strip the first time a few months back, I thought it had some potential to be something bigger. So, regardless of what it might become in the end, I'm still excited.

New Kid seems like it could easily be made into a family film. While I've enjoyed all of their one-offs, that one seems the least inspired. I would like to see some more Automata or Lookouts. Also, I enjoyed Jim Darkmagic and Sand and still want those to be expanded upon. Belruel is a pretty strip but there's not enough there yet to get excited about
