Jennifer Lopez to Produce Carmen Sandiego Film
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? Hanging out with Jennifer Lopez, evidently! Deadline.com reports that Lopez has partnered with Walden Media to bring the elusive, globe-trotting criminal to the big screen.
The Carmen Sandiego character originated in an education computer game before landing an animated series. Here's the plan for her upcoming live-action movie adventure:
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?
At this point, Lopez is only attached to produce the project, though Deadline reports executives hope it will become a starring vehicle for the singer-actress, who recently wrapped production on What to Expect When You're Expecting.
