Popeye Heading Back to the Big Screen?
It looks that way, as a 3-D cartoon.
From a story on
Variety...
"Hotel Transylvania" helmer Genndy Tartakovsky is attached to develop
and direct "Popeye," Sony Pictures Animation's 3D take on the familiar
sailor man.
Avi and Ari Arad will produce under their Arad Productions
banner with Sony Pictures Animation. As of November, scribes David Ronn
and Jay Scherick were attached to pen the script.
Popeye, the
spinach-loving seaman who first appeared in the "Thimble Theater"
comicstrip in 1929, spawned numerous spin-offs, including one of the
longest-running series of animated shorts and Robert Altman's 1980 film
starring Robin Williams.
