Gumby to star in new HBO movie

All right – all right. I know it’s been a while since the last Gumby posting. Sorry ‘bout that. But he’s been very busy filming a new motion picture. It’s an epic sci-fi story about rescuing a curvaceous Princess (portrayed by Angelina Jolie) of the planet Nakanaka from the evil Darth Newt. Along the way he encounters alien mercenaries, flesh eating nanoprobes, and befriends young Sal from the planet Monella. Together they dispatch the evil ones and win the day.

There are 2,302 hours of raw footage to edit down to 40 final hours. Intended to be the “Saving Private Ryan” of space movies, it contains accurately portrayed and graphic footage of hyper light speed travel, passages through black holes, and aliens being blown to atoms (in space no one can hear you scream). It will look more like a documentary than a fictional movie. In the dramatic climax Gumby exclaims, “Newt not Gumby’s father!” Oops – maybe I’ve given too much away.

Pictured here in an exclusive photo is our hero Gumby manning the Onknocknar intergalactic death cannon. Don’t pull the trigger yet, Gumby! Not to give away any movie secrets, let’s just say this weapon does bad things to the bad guys. Look for the first of twenty 2-hour installments on HBO starting in summer of 2010.
