Cosby Finishes 'Fat Albert' Script

NEW YORK (AP) - Bill Cosby has finished co-writing the script for the ``Fat Albert'' movie, based on the 1970's cartoon show he created.

Now he's trying to decide whether fans want to hear him do the voices of Fat Albert, Bill and Mushmouth again, just as he did for the TV series.

``I don't know if my Fat Albert, if it's a little too full and robust now and old, and what I would like to try is perhaps to find or have auditions for someone who could really imitate what's on the track,'' the 64-year-old comedian told AP Radio.

``Would they prefer to hear something that's very, very close, or the fellow that used to do it, 36 years older?''

Forest Whitaker (``Waiting to Exhale,'' ``Hope Floats'') will direct the movie, which will be part animation and part live action. It's scheduled for release in summer 2003.
