Woody Woodpecker is an upcoming 3D live-action/CGI comedy film directed by Alex Zamm and based on the cartoon character of the same name created by Walter Lantz. The film stars Timothy Omundson as Lance Walters (whose name is an obvious reference to Lantz), a divorced attorney with a son and a new girlfriend who wants to build a dream home in a forest in the mountains, only to find out he is cutting down a tree in which the eponymous woodpecker lives. The film is set for release in Brazil in October 2017, although a US direct-to-video release remains unknown.
In the early 2010s, Universal Studios and Illumination Entertainment planned a Woody Woodpecker feature film. John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky (King of the Hill) were in talks to develop a story, but the project was canceled. In October 2013, Bill Kopp announced that Universal Pictures had hired him to direct an animated feature film with three interwoven stories. On July 13, 2016, Cartoon Brew reported that Universal 1440 Entertainment was filming a live-action/CGI hybrid film based on Woody Woodpecker in Canada. Filming began in June 2016, and ended later in July of that year. In December 2016, a teaser trailer for the film was leaked by Universal Pictures Brasil with the Brazilian Portuguese dub. It is unknown if there will be a trailer with the original audio in English.
