Hoola-Hoop And Frisbee Movies Coming In The Future

It's already inexplicably ridiculous that toys and games like Battleship, Stretch Armstrong, and Candy Land are all in various points of production, but this story is proof that things are getting out of control. Talent agency International Creative Management (ICM) has signed a deal with legendary toy company Wham-O in hopes of making some of the toys the subject of movies and television shows. Some of Wham-O's most famous products include Hoola-Hoops, Frisbees, Super Balls, Slip 'N Slides, and Hacky Sacks.

I actually hope that someone from Wham-O or ICM is reading this, because I actually have a stellar idea for the Hoola-Hoop. In the movie, a young man somehow finds himself as the president of a large manufacturing company who pitches the idea of a large plastic circle... you know, for kids. I'm thinking that Tim Robbins would be perfect for the lead. Wait, what? What do you mean they already made it? What the hell is a Hudsucker Proxy? Damn you, Coen brothers, you screwed me again.
