Eric Brevig has been tapped to direct "Yogi Bear," a project which is now being developed as a 3-D feature. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Warner Bros. will release the new take on the Hanna-Barbera character.

Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia are penning the screenplay about a bear who wears a hat and tie and is always trying to steal food from the visitors of Jellystone Park. He is often trying to escape the Ranger along with his sidekick Boo Boo.

The film will combine live-action and CG animation.
