Fred: The Movie Going from YouTube to Theaters

When 16-year-old Lucas Cruikshank of Nebraska created the character of Fred Figglehorn, a tantrum-throwing six-year-old, four years ago to feature in YouTube videos, odds are he never expected Fred: The Movie.

But, as The New York Times reports, that’s just what he’s getting, as director and producer Brian Robbins (Norbit, Varsity Blues, Smallville), United Talent Agency, The Collective and writer David A. Goodman (an executive producer of Family Guy) began filming Fred: The Movie in November for a 2010 release.
