That Lion YouTube Hit to Become Movie

Asking if you've seen the "Christian the Lion" YouTube hit is like asking if you've ever been to the Internet. By now, everyone has seen the story of a lion, purchased in a London department store and raised by humans, who greets them after a year in the wild by jumping on them with enthusiastic hugs. Just like he's a person! (8 million views.) Now negotiations for it to be turned into a movie are underway, says Reuters. (In case you haven't seen the video, it's after the jump for a little slice of love.)
