In some great news to balance out that awful Top Gun/Point Break story earlier, genius-like South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have confirmed they will turn their multiple Tony-winning Broadway comedy/musical The Book of Mormon into a movie, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Parker and Stone last worked on the much-loved satire/puppet flickTeam America, which is generally thought of as classic amongst comedy fans. The guys seem to able to do what they want on South Park, and the show is still often staggeringly brilliant and hilarious. When they took Book of Mormon to Broadway, very few people expected it to catch on - but it's currently the hottest ticket in town and sells out months in advance.

I still think Basketball is hilarious - even though they didn't write or direct it, their humour is all over it. Really looking forward to this.
