Producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford, who are coming off Transformers: Dark of the Moon and the upcoming Shawn Levy-directed Hugh Jackman-starrer Real Steel, have signed a deal with Cartoon Network to develop a live-action adventure theatrical feature based on Captain Planet. He's the animated Ted Turner-created environment-saving hero who was first introduced in the cartoon series Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Murphy and Montford will develop the film under their Angry Films banner. "We are extremely excited about bringing the good captain back to life," said Murphy, who added the intention is to make a series of films. "[The Captain's] adventures are known worldwide and he is recognized across generations." The news follows last month's announcement of a similar Cartoon Network deal with producer Joel Silver for a movie based on the Ben 10 animated series.

Dear God, that's a horrible idea. I hope they at least do it in a satirical, tongue-in-cheek fashion (much like the Brady Bunch movies).
