Over the past couple of years, I introduced my now wife to an old set of movies that I watched a bit as a child.  Joe Camp’s Benji.  She wound up digging a bit deeper into the world of Joe Camp, and found that he was planning a team up movie with Benji and a horse that he had.  Unfortunately, that horse died unexpectedly and the project seemed to fall apart.  She continues to read Joe Camp’s blog regularly, though, because of her love of horses and dogs.

However, yesterday I got to tell her that Walden Media was planning to bring Benji back.  That was all she needed to know to be sold on it.  The funny thing is, when we were watching it, and I was thinking that it would be great if it was rebooted for today’s audiences.  The first film seemed very dated, definitely not aging well.

Walden Media and Fox have hired Brandon Camp, son of “Benji” creator Joe Camp Jr., to write, direct and produce a film that will reboot the character for a new crop of young moviegoers.
