We’re all aware of the fact that Hollywood ran out of fresh ideas a long, long time ago and have come to terms with this unfortunate fact, correct?
It’s being reported that IAM Entertainment’s Scott Glassgold and Raymond Brothers have acquired the rights to and will be developing a movie based on the legendary Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade millions of people watch each holiday season.
The duo are currently chatting with multiple writers in hopes of figuring out the perfect way to approach the movie, with one idea being the obvious: the floats somehow come to life. Fitting to this idea, Glassgold explained that they’re “aiming to make a four-quadrant, family-friendly film somewhere in that Night At The Museum, Elf sweet spot.”
Speaking of Elf, Macy’s was offered the chance to be part of that movie but turned it down, so now they’re out to find a future family favorite to represent. Robin Hall, a senior vice president with the department store, added “we are always searching for the next Miracle on 34th Street.”
Would you be interested in a Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade movie, or are things just getting ridiculous?

I don’t think this is a bad idea. I’d love to see this movie become a reality especially if someone like Tim Burton is involved. Hopefully this movie will have the vibe and feel of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
