The L.A. Times is reporting that Illumination Entertainment, the animation company behind Despicable Me, is developing a new version of Curious George.

The movie is expected to spin a new story of George the monkey/chimpanzee (depending on whether you favor H.A. and Margret Rey's text or the tail-less images) who's taken out of the jungle by an eccentric explorer to live in the city, where mischief always seems to find him.

The Illumination film is expected to start from scratch. It's getting a script from Larry Stuckey, who wrote the upcoming Little Fockers, the third installment in the Meet the Parents franchise, for Universal.

Curious George was released February 10th, 2006 and stars Frank Welker, Will Ferrell, Shane Baumel, Timyra-Joi Beatty, Eugene Levy, Christopher Chen, Jessie Flower, Dick Van Dyke. The film is directed by Matthew O'Callaghan.

    not sure "reboot" is the best word/term. it's not a chronological story, but a franchise that works anyway you tell the story. it doesn't need an origin story and doesn't need a concluding story... it's like Charlie Brown in that it can tell multiple stories and never really be out of touch (with modern day culture or future cultures) or out of order within it's own universe/chronology. Hence the book series: "CG Goes to the Zoo", "CG goes Camping", etc. No need for rebooting this. just make another movie with whatever animation scheme and keep the characters the same. (AND DON'T MAKE IT LIVE ACTION!!!!!!!! Prefer not 3D either, but this is a cartoon that could actually be enhanced with 3D when George gets into all the mischief)

    they should do a movie about curious george where he violently attacks a child that made the mistake of trying to hug him.
    but i guess that wouldn't be cute, and would alienate the target demographic.
