According to The Hollywood Reporter, Captain Planet and the Planeteers is now set for the big screen treatment from Sony Pictures. The studio is currently in final negotiations for the rights to the series which, " told the story of five teens from around the world that are given powers by Gaia, the Earth spirit, in order to protect the planet from the devastation of polluters. When their powers are not enough, the teens combine to summon a superhero named Captain Planet." Live-action adaptations have been attempted in the past, but none of them managed to get further than the script stage. With a modern day reimagining, Sony are clearly hoping to develop a new franchise from the 90s animated series and there's no denying that the issues faced by Captain Planet are more prevalent today than ever before. Mark Gordon (Source Code), Don Murphy (Transformers) and Susan Montford (Real Steel) will produce.

Sweet I was wondering how long it would take them to make this. With an altered tone it could be good fantasy superhero with a large scale to the story.

Oh God, this is a stupid and laughable idea. I hated Captain Planet as a kid. It was boring, unsubtle, and lame. Did any of you want to save the environment after watching this show?

I bet the same people upset Michael B Jordan may play Johnny Storm will be upset if they don't hire a teal skinned guy to play Captain Planet

Sure, why not? I mean we've endured a Smurfs movie, at which point we all thought Hollywood could go no lower, so why not Captain Planet, his horribly racist stereotype planeteers and the eco-terrorists who can't simply be arrested?

Dude BP got torn a new a$$hole over their oil spill, these "eco-terrorists" who purposely commit crimes that only effect the environment wouldn't even face Captain Planet; the feds would be all over them.

Why not a live-action Gargoyles movie. That's a 90's cartoon that is worth investing in.
