Good news, die-hard Britain's Got Talent fans! X Factor head honcho and black T-shirt aficionado Simon Cowell has joined forces with Vertigo Films to make a feature film about Pudsey the well-trained dog. Its working title? Pudsey: The Movie.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the star of the movie will be Pudsey (without Ashleigh Butler, his trainer), though there are no details as to what he'll be getting up to, plot-wise.
This isn't the first time Cowell has dipped his toes into the murky waters of cinema, however, with the One Direction concert movie (as directed by Morgan "Supersize Me" Spurlock) on its way and David Frankel’s Paul Pott’s biopic One Chance (starring James Corden) also in production.
Vertigo chief Rupert Preston has described Pudsey: The Movie as "great, feel-good, fun entertainment for all the family.” Pudsey himself was unavailable for comment.
And just in case you weren't one of the 14.5 million people who watched the performing pooch when it was on TV last year, here's some footage of Ashleigh and Pudsey doing their thing.
Pudsey: The Movie is set for a Christmas 2013 release.

If you watch any of his programmes or listen to music put by out by his production company YOU are his bitch. For your sanity I advise that you ignore everything the man does and pretend he (or his spawn) don't exist. If enough people do this maybe one day he will take the hint and retire. Unlikely though. I'm sure we will have to endure this buffoon for years to come yet I fear... More

Re: Sanity
Exactly, hence my second sentence. The only way to stop the peddling of this 'loser porn' (which is what I call it) is for people to realize that they are the real idiots for mindlessly chowing down on whatever guff they're presented with. I suggest an audience boycott. Let's nip this offensive drivel in the bud. More

AGREED!
What a pathetic, cynical, disgusting waste of time and money. I have self respect so I don't watch the programme and I've never heard of this dog. Now I've seen it I feel ill. Vertigo need a punch in the face for ruining their own good name. They used to be the people that gave me Nicolas Winding Refn, now they're just Cowell's b*tch. In one fell swoop, they've gone from uber-cool to complete losers. More
