Video: With Hollywood's Powers Combined, a 'Captain Planet' Movie Is In The Works

Cartoon Network has penned a deal with Transformers producer Don Murphy and his company Angry Fireworks to create a live action version of the environmentalist cartoon.



For the uninitiated (and those unable to watch the video above), Captain Planet was created by Mother Earth in response to mankind's disregard for and destruction of the natural world.

Despite this singular raison d'etre, the muscular, flying and magical hero cannot spend all of his time saving the earth. Instead, he spends much of his day in hero purgatory, awaiting the joint summons of five teenagers from around the world who possess magic rings.

These teenagers, who are from North America, Africa, China, Eastern Europe, and the Amazon, each wields the powers of one of the four classical elements (earth, wind, water and fire) or the power of "heart".
