Every year, The Black List – a list of the best screenplays that weren’t picked up by Hollywood, as chosen by studio executives – is released, and 2015’s number one script was a film called Bubbles.
The synopsis reads: “A baby chimp is adopted by the pop star Michael Jackson. Narrating his own story, Bubbles the Chimp details his life within The King of Pop’s inner circle through the scandals that later rocked Jackson’s life and eventually led to Bubbles’ release.”
Less than a year later and the the screen play – written by Isaac Adamson – has been picked up by Andrew Kortschak and his production studio End Cue, as well as Community creator Dan Harmon and his Starburns Industries company.
The pair will make Bubbles into an animated feature length film, Harmon having previously produced Anomalisa, which was nominated for the Best Animated Film Oscar.
Bubbles lived with Michael from the 1980s until 2003, when he was moved to a monkey sanctuary in Florida.
