Collider is reporting that Paramount Pictures has plans to bring the Penny Arcade web comic The New Kid to the big screen in the form of an animated feature. The plot involves a boy living in outer space who must go to a school populated entirely by aliens. Having just released Rango in the spring, this marks the studio’s second recent journey into the world of animated movies without DreamWorks Animation, whose contract with Paramount Pictures could possibly be expiring for good soon.
