Lazy Town Movie and Restaurant

Magnús Scheving, the brain behind the LazyTown concept and " Sportacus" in the series is interviewed by British paper The Daily Telegraph yesterday. In the interview he mentions plans to found a chain of restaurants bearing the LazyTown name.

 The Telegraph says that Magnús Scheving is Iceland's answer to TV cook Jamie Oliver who has fought for better food in British schools, and that Icelandic children have increased their fruit and vegetable intake by 20 percent since the programme started. Scheving says in the interview that he would be very happy if Jamie Oliver helped him to set up his restaurant chain. " I would take care of the exercises and Jamie could take care of the food. I think we could make a good team."

The paper also mentions that Quentin Tarantino was so taken with the show that he has visited the LazyTown studios on a visit to Iceland. Scheving also mentioned that he's planning a LazyTown movie, which is in its first stages. The second LazyTown series is being produced at the moment, and the first series is showing in 103 countries including the BBC.
