Hollywood ready for comic book spoof

LOS ANGELES, March 1 (UPI) -- The filmmakers behind the horror movie spoof "Scary Movie 3" are taking on the comic book trade with "Comic Book: The Movie."

Dimension Films has picked up the script for the parody penned by John Unholz of The WB's "The Hype," The Hollywood Reporter said.

Dimension had a comic book parody already on the table from the "Scary Movie 3" crew, and will most likely fold "Superhero!" into "Comic Book: The Movie" and come up with one hybrid parody, the Reporter said.
