The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Paramount and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions are in talks to make a live action film adaptation of the early 1990s environmental cartoon “Captain Planet.” […]

According to reporters Rebecca Ford and Borys Kit, “Sources say the story takes place years after the adventures of the show, with the Captain now a washed-up has-been who needs the kids more than they need him.” …

Oh, gawd, the cartoon series was bad enough.

[Vermont Lt]

One of the stuidos MUST need a loss to fix up their taxes.

[Uversabound]

Die idiot

[Rapscallion]

Leonardo DiCaprio has been put on my personal boycott list.

[NorthMountain]

Don’t go full retard, Leo ... you never go full retard.

[Yo-Yo]

"...with the Captain now a washed-up has-been ..."

Sounds promising.

[Pravious]

“Sources say the story takes place years after the adventures of the show, with the Captain now a washed-up has-been...”

I guess one of the top-notch Hollywood writers saw “The Incredibles.”

One was already one. And it is far better than the cartoon.

I mean how in the heck did I sit there and actually watch that propaganda mess? Thankfully I discovered talk radio around the same time, and bailed on it fast.

I think I read somewhere that short lived but far superior Exo Squad had to be cancelled for this stupid cartoon.

[FrankR]

“Captain Planet”? It’s about climate change, tight?

[Lady Heron]

It was! I would not let it in my house after I used it as a teaching tool to show my children how to watch for propaganda in the shows on tv.

[hoagy62]

It was actually done before the whole ‘climate change’ idiocy. It WAS, however, a serious bit of propaganda for the “Gaia-worshipper” weenies.

[rockrr]

Does he get to play teh ghey?

[Army Air Corps]

A crappy cartoon to be made into a crappy movie. Whoop-dee-doo.

Same here. I was hoping the guy was naive and gullible and not of the likes of Penn, Clooney, Affleck, and Damon but apparently he is. They're just stabbing themselves in the foot. If I were running one of the studios I'd have a clause in their contract that told them to keep their pie holes shut about politics. No telling how much they've cost the studios because of them.

[Donglalinger]

Will the studio fly him and his entourage on their private jet for the pitch meeting?

[Nevadan]

I go to church every week and appreciate the sermons my pastor gives from the Bible. Still. I would not want to sit through any 2 hour sermon by any preacher, no matter how great. Sitting through a 2 hour preachy propaganda sermon in the guise of entertainment produced by Leo DiCaprio sounds like pure misery to me. Some medieval forms of torture would be preferable.

Or ‘Galaxy Quest’, or ...

[proud American in Canada]

LOL!!! One of the funniest lines ever!

And so appropriate here. :)
