PUFNSTUF movie coming?

Here I've finally made peace with the fact that the damn Land of the Lost movie isn't going away... And now word comes from Ain't It Cool that a movie version of H.R. Pufnstuf is in the works. Dear lord, by the time Hollywood's done with it, the sweet, trippy, goofy Pufnstuf of days gone by will have been transformed into a shambling, mirthless, catch-phrase spouting horror beyond imagination. Oh, it is to weep. (Click the image at left to buy The World of Sid & Marty Krofft - H.R. Pufnstuf.)

One little ray of hope: according to Wikipedia's Sid Krofft page, "He's continuously mentioned plans to bring H.R. Pufnstuf and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters to the big-screen, though to date, the latter two projects have continuously stalled out before production began." So, let's cross our fingers that the Kroffts are just once again hufn and pufn smoke, and we'll never have to see posters with Mike Myers in a big dragon suit.
