"Captain Planet" Movie On The Way

Sony Pictures is in final talks to pick up the film rights to early 1990s environmental cartoon series "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" says  Heat Vision.

 
The original show followed five teens from around the world given powers by Gaia, the earth spirit, to protect the planet from polluters. When their powers are not enough, they combine to summon a superhero named Captain Planet
.
The toon was produced by Turner Broadcasting and the now defunct DIC Entertainment, that also brought us "Inspector Gadget" and "The Real Ghostbusters".

Mark Gordon, Don Murphy and Susan Montford will produce the Captain Planet film adaptation.

Both a film and new live-action series adaptation had previously been in development, but neither of them got past that
