New York: ‘Drawn Together,’ Comedy Central`s animated take on reality shows, is headed for a movie version that`s scheduled for a 2010 video release."The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!" was unveiled Wednesday by Lauren Corrao, president, original programing and development, Comedy Central.
The straight-to-DVD release is the first film based on the series. "Drawn Together," which aired from 2004 to 2007, brought together a group of recognizable cartoon characters in a "Real World"-type shared living arrangement, complete with reality challenges.
The film`s plot: When the mystery-solving musician Foxxy notices she and her fellow housemates can suddenly curse without being bleeped, they realize that their show has been canceled and start fighting to get it back on the air.
The move will be released by Comedy Central Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment in March.
Both are units of entertainment giant Viacom Inc.
"`Drawn Together`s` reunion with Comedy Central is like marrying an old ex-girlfriend," quipped creators, writers and executive producers Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser. "I mean, are we doing this because we love each other and are destined to be together? Or is it because neither one of us could do any better? As is often the case, it`s probably both."
A "Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!" panel is scheduled for Comic-Con in San Diego on Thursday.
"Drawn Together" premiered on Comedy Central in October 2004 and aired for three seasons and 36 episodes.
