Watch out, Stephen King: Another author’s entire canon is now being processed through Hollywood’s adaptation machine. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. is kicking off a “ramp-up” of Dr. Seuss movies after the success of Netflix’s Green Eggs And Ham series (which is coming back for a second season), starting with the new animated The Cat In The Hat movie we heard about in 2018. It’s now scheduled for a 2024 release, directed by Erica Rivinoja and Art Hernandez, and it’ll set up the storyline of a spin-off about Thing One and Thing Two for a Dr. Seuss cinematic universe of some sort—which is exactly what we joked about Warner Bros. doing with The Cat In The Hat back in 2018. Are we prophets? No, it was just an easy joke.
