GRANTVILLE, Pa. - Lately, the buzz about making Cotolo Chronicles into a movie
is loud but not clear again. At the show's offices, sources say, people
identified as residents of Hollywood, California, were seen arriving in large,
black cars. Some of these people, other sources say, look like the same people
who came some months ago to discuss making the program's movie version.

It was some time ago but the rumor that the famous talk show would become a
movie surfaced from, of all places, a weatherman in the Los Angeles TV market.
The man, during a boring local weathercast, called for a sunny weekend with a
chance of a movie version of Cotolo Chronicles.
|
|
Immediately, representatives from Paramount Studios were swamped with questions
about the possibility of a movie version of Cotolo Chronicles.
|
|
One member of the Paramount administration said, "We have heard nothing about a
movie version of Cotolo Chronicles."
|
|
Another member of the administration said, "I have not been notified that there
is even a script for a movie version of Cotolo Chronicles."
|
|
But recently a writer that goes by the name of Holly Calabash said he had sold
a treatment for a movie version of Cotolo Chronicles to Paramount or
Universal.
|
|
At Universal, a top member of the executive production team said he remembers
"reading a treatment for a movie version of Cotolo Chronicles."
|
|
At the offices for the show, a source told reporters that there are thirteen
different treatments currently circulating for a movie version of Cotolo
Chronicles.
|
|
"One of them," the source said, "takes place in Mozambique and features Anne
Hathaway as Cotolo's love interest."
|
|
Anne Hathaway's agent refused to comment.
