    Captain Planet Live Action Movie announced!

    It is as amazing as it is bizarre, and it is quite bizarre. To think that we would ever see a Captain Planet movie has taken me completely by surprise (even though I recently rediscovered my love for this cartoon), and to think it could come before a new MOTU film.

    I can't even begin to imagine how it would transfer onto film (and yet I remain hopeful that it would come out feeling like Avatar, The Avengers, or perhaps even the less memorable, but still visually decent John Carter of Mars), or which of the core villains would make it into the movie. Duke Nukem? Dr. Blight? Verminous Skum? Hoggish Greedly? I could actually see Charlize Theron playing a really awesome Doctor Blight, or Kristin Bauer van Straten. Yeah she would probably do a better job.


    Cartoon Network has signed a development agreement with action-adventure producer Don Murphy and partner Susan Montford and their company Angry Filmworks to develop a live-action motion picture based on the groundbreaking, environment-saving animated hero, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, it was announced today by Stuart Snyder, president and COO of Turner Broadcasting System Inc.’s Animation, Young Adults and Kids Media division (AYAKM). The agreement gives Murphy and his company the exclusive rights to develop and package the property and advance it towards production.

    I'm no 'Captain Planet' fan, but the only way I would ever see this movie is if they get Bhargav Dronamraju (from 'That Guy With The Glasses') to play Ma-Ti, and have Ted Turner cover himself in blue paint running around the city screaming 'CAPTAAAIIIIIN PLAAAAANEEEEET'.

    The only way I'll see this is if Don Cheadle plays Captain Planet.

    I want to see LeVar Burton do a cameo. Maybe as Kwame's dad... or.. grandfather? How old is he now?

    I really want this movie to be awesome. While I've seen the Funny or Die Don Cheadle video, and tried to share it here, youtube would not let me embed it. It was awesome.

    If you love CP, check out Funny or Die

    Yeah, Don Cheadle as Captain Planet was hilarious. The Power is...MINE *****es!

    Dr. Blight was the best villain on the show IMO (that was Meg Ryan!), so I'd hope they use her. Sly Sludge and Looten Plunder were the most boring, so I'm sure they'll be used instead.

    Don Murphy is involved so it'll have a 4% resemblance to the original cartoon, and he'll curse and insult anyone who doesn't think it's the best movie ever made.

    Don't worry, the parody probably will be made before the movie goes into production.
