A live-action film based on Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego is in the works, which would be fine if Sandra Bullock was still slated to star. However, now it seems Jennifer Lopez may take the role. So far she’s only signed on to produce, but the rumored plan is to drop the incognito geography lessons and turn the film into a vehicle for J.Lo. Deadline reports:
The hope is to turn the property into National Treasure meets The Thomas Crown Affair. The logline: When the ACME agency’s greatest detective Carmen Sandiego becomes the world’s greatest thief, it’s up to her former partner to follow her clues and track her down. Their cat-and-mouse game leads the partner to confront a greater mystery: Is Carmen really a thief or a hero?
They probably won’t even let Rockapella sing the theme song. This makes us angry enough to steal the Mason-Dixon Line.
