This doesn't mean either will be coming to the big screen though...here's some background provided from comingsoon.net:
Originally announced last year, Hong Kong Phooey had Eddie Murphy attached to play mild-mannered dog Penry who, after stumbling into a mystic ceremony, is accidentally granted mystic powers, including the ability to walk, talk, and do kung fu. Under the tutelage of his kung fu master, Penry dons a costume and becomes Hong Kong Phooey, and with the help of his trusting sidekick Spot the cat cleans up a rogues gallery of wacky criminals.
The Marvin the Martian feature film announcement, meanwhile, dates back to 2008 and was to be based on the classic "Looney Tunes" character. Originally created in 1948, Marvin the Martian was often intent on blowing up the Earth, only to be foiled by Bugs Bunny.
Zamm, who was attached to both projects, is best known for family-friendly features like Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts and Tooth Fairy 2.

Sorry but Scatman Crothers is the only Hong Kong Phooey. Or Jazz from transformers for that matter...
Also this looks obnoxious as hell. >.< "BWAHAHAHAHA He's drinking from toilets! GET IT!?"

HKP looks more like a joke and a shell of his former self.
And it seems they trivialized Marvin the Martian. Like... he's the Grinch now. Really. His mission seems identical to the Grinchs.
