Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies really want to make a Mighty Mouse feature film.
The Los Angeles Times says the studio, which has been developing a big-screen version of the Terrytoon flying super-rodent for several years now, is currently looking for a new screenwriter and director for the project.
"But how studio executes update the property will be a key question. The original 1940s Mighty Mouse comic was designed as a a satire of the then-popular Superman, a kind of subversive postmodern creation before entertainment (and most of the world) was familiar with subversive postmodern creations," the Times recalls.
The paper adds, "Producers could still go that way -- especially in an era when big Marvel and DC superheroes are themselves getting subversive treatments -- though part of the reason to do a movie like Mighty Mouse in the first place is its broad, family-oriented appeal."
