“It’s essentially the movie ‘Training Day’ for kids,” said Director of the new live action Recess movie. “We’re pretty excited about it and we think fans are going to like it.”

The 90’s children’s cartoon featured a 3rd grade cast of characters getting up to all kinds of hi-jinks.

This decision comes after Disney’s recent renditions of the Lion King and Aladdin which both took on a more adult character. Fans of the movies were delighted by their use of CGI and great actors.

Actors lined up for the movie are quite the catch. Edward Norton will play the Nerdy “Gus” character. Christian Bale, of Batman fame, will take on the role of kid turned drug dealer “T.J. Detweiler” and Keira Knightly will take on the smack addicted “Spinelli” character.

“While you might be confused by such a brazen move you have to realize that most of the fans of the original ‘Recess’ cartoon are now grown adults. Disney is making a calculated decision” said film expert Victor Fabrizio. “Even though they may bring their children, the movie is really for the adults.”

The director went into detail about his decision: “The movie will take on adult themes much like the recent remakes. But we’re taking it much further. We think the audience can handle it.”

When asked if Snoop Dog will make an appearance the director stated, “You’ll just have to wait and see.”

The movie is yet to have a release date.
