Sony to make live action ALF movie. Alf will be CGI.

They have come a long way with cgi but to me it still doesn't come close to a real puppet.

I'm imagining it will look like Yoda in the new movies meaning it will look like CGI

CGI makers still haven't mastered the flow of real life movement

[Werewolf]

Don't worry, the cgi will probably be pretty realistic.

Alf wasn't about being realistic. The fun of the show was that ALF was a a puppet. They could have, at the time, used a more realistic looking animatronic design but they went with a furry muppet. That was the gimmick.

As an Alf fan, I can remember watching the first episode anxiously as a child, this is great news. Don't worry, the cgi will probably be pretty realistic.

I'm embarrassed to admit I never seen one episode of the original series

[Splitty]

That's absolutely ridiculous.
The guy who does the voice of Alf, and the puppet itself, are alive kicking and well. Anybody catch that ALf's Talk Show on TV Land a few years ago? 'Twas great.

CGI? LAAAAAAAMMMMEEE. Do they have any idea how many old-schoolers would get behind the original Alf in a movie, like they did the muppets (although it would be a smaller fanbase)? And just as many kids would go to see that, they love puppets as much as hoakey CGI, maybe more.

Lame.

I loved ALF but another remake? {sigh}

[boynightwing]

If Alf comes out looking as good as Ted did, I don't care if he's a puppet or not. That kind of thing never bothers me anyway.

[MegoMark71]

One of my all time favorite shows. Been watching it on the hub. Ticks me off they aren't going to use a puppet. The faces they used to be able to do with a puppet were awesome. CGI is ok but dang i wish they dusted off the old props and used those.

[Gorn Captain]

The way Robert DeNiro's career is going, I was kind of thinking he'd play Alf.

The tragedy is that this news tells me there's probably someone somewhere working furiously on a My Mother the Car remake.

Great Question....If your Mother was a Car, What kind of car would she be.... Discuss.

I have a feeling this movie will be like Ted and not very kid friendly.

[Earth 2 Chris]

My kids have been watching Alf on the Hub. Alf is back...in movie form!!!

Maybe he can eat the CGI Garfield.
