Live-action Captain Planet movie coming together

Producers Don Murphy, Susan Montford, and Mark Gordon have found a studio for their proposed Captain Planet movie, almost two years after announcing their intentions to the world.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures is in final negotiations to pick up the rights to the animated environmental series.

The show featured five Earth-loving teens who regularly summoned the titular superhero for their battles against such villains as Verminous Skumm, Looten Plunder, and Duke Nukem (not to be confused with the video game character of the same name).

Sony’s retelling will be live-action.
