Cartoon Network announced today it has signed a deal with Angry Filmworks to develop a Captain Planet live-action feature film:

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.

Murphy and Angry Filmworks are most notably credited for the highly successful action-adventure franchise, Transformers (2007), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) and Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011). Murphy and Montford together produced the upcoming Hugh Jackman blockbuster Real Steel with Executive Producer Steven Spielberg. The company also is responsible for such action-oriented films as Shoot ‘Em Up (2007), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), Apt Pupil (1998) and Natural Born Killers (1994). Angry Filmworks formed in 1998.

“The messages of Captain Planet are even more relevant today,” said Snyder. “We feel this team can bring the world’s first eco-hero to life in a powerful motion picture that is not only pertinent but entertaining.”

“We are extremely excited about bringing the good Captain back to life,” said Murphy. “His adventures are known worldwide and he is recognized across generations. We expect to make a spectacular series of films with the amazing team at Cartoon Network.”

“With the earthquakes, tornadoes, melting icebergs and all the other problems threatening the world right now, Earth really needs her greatest defender,” said Montford.

In an effort to inform younger viewers about serious environmental issues, legendary cable entrepreneur Ted Turner partnered with DIC Enterprises in 1990 to create the world’s first animated environmental series, Captain Planet and the Planeteers. The series was about a group of young people who combine their special powers (The Planeteers) to summon Captain Planet, an environmental superhero, to battle the world’s worst eco-villains.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers premiered in fall 1990, airing domestically and internationally in syndication and on cable networks TBS and TNT. Six full seasons of the series were produced in the original run of the series, featuring the voice talents of multiple guest celebrities, including Whoopi Goldberg (Gaia), Meg Ryan (Dr. Blight), Martin Sheen (Sly Sludge), Edward Asner (Hoggish Greedly), James Coburn (Looten Plunder), Dean Stockwell (Duke Nukem) and Sting (Zarm). Winning multiple Environmental Media Awards across its production, Captain Planet and the Planeteers also scored several Daytime Emmy nominations.

Neeever herd of him...Just seen a movie trailer for Captain America though.

Oh YES! WOOOOT It's been too long since there's been a blue skinned superhero with green hair fighting pollution. Also been too long since everyone made fun of the poor kid with the Heart Power ring. lol

[Darth Ryuyee]

Boggles my mind when people complain about stuff like this. It's being made for kids, so why should I care? Personally, considering the garbage they come out with for kids these days, I'm real glad to see something with a positive message being made for them. They do not do that as much as they did in the early 90s anymore.

Gunna take pollution down to zero!

He's our powers magnified, and he's fighting on the planet's side!

Oh YES! WOOOOT It's been too long since there's been a blue skinned superhero with green hair fighting pollution. Also been too long since everyone made fun of the poor kid with the Heart Power ring. lol

Glad at least someone, agrees with me.

[Qui-Tom Helms]

Ok, so I know who he is now...At least its something better that the other dribble they come up with these days (I have grand kids, I only watch when they are here).

BTW, the last one that I thought was good was HE-MAN, Masters of the Universe,  Man that was a long time ago

[Kalibos]

one of my dueling vids on utube has music from masters of the universe (dolph lundgren one)

LOL (I collect all manner of obscure film scores and soundtracks I am not a geek, man, I am an ubergeek!!!! LOL)
Ps i'm the blue dude!

Exactly! I weep for kids today. Sure there's a few decent kids shows, but most of the shows they come up with for kids are dribble. Even the current Power Rangers series is crap.

[Manroon]

I see your crappy power rangers series and raise you a generation of High School kids that doesn't know Pinky and the Brain.

and Kalibos.... I'm nowhere near your level of obscure soundtracks, but I gots a cassette of Battlestar Galactica. 

[Qui-Tom Helms]

I remember Pinky and the Brain, ocassionally watched it...how many seasons did it have??

I think the worst cartoons, although the funniest, should have been on later at night then what they were, was the ones MTV started:
  Bevis and Butthead
  Rene and Stimpy

[ThreadJack]

I see your crappy power rangers series and raise you a generation of High School kids that doesn't know Pinky and the Brain.

As I said, I weep for kids today.

As do I, Wingmate, as do I......
