I agree, the movie industry has lost its mind. However, remember, the television industry lost it's mind around 2005 when we started seeing really crappy shows being made...first, it started with Disney Channel, then Nickelodeon adopted it, then Cartoon Network stopped making cartoons, etc.
If I wanted to see high pitched voices for an hour and a half, I would watch Alvin and the Chipmunks. I don't have a problem with them, but that's because they're original (they date to way back in the day) and actually have a decent sence of humor. This guy is just makes me think of someone who did crystal meth and helium at the same time...a very deadly combination for the sanity of any man.
An even better question is what is this movie going to be about? Just ninety minutes of some guy randomly running around? I would get the same effect by letting my cat play with a laser pointer. I'm starting to wonder what this world is coming to...
