The iconic sailor man and spinach chugger, who first appeared in comic strips in the late 1920s, will be the subject of a new live-action feature film from Chernin Entertainment and King Features.
The project is currently in development as a big-budget feature, and has attached screenwriter Michael Caleo (“Sexy Beast,” “The Family,” “The Sopranos”).This is the first live-action revisiting of the character since the 1980 film “Popeye,” led by Robin Willians. Directed by Robert Altman and co-starring Shelley Duvall as the sailor’s quirky love interest Olive Oyl, the film was panned upon release but has since gained cult status and critical reconsideration. It was also profitable, released by Paramount Pictures at a $20 million budget before grossing roughly $60 million worldwide.

The Robin Williams version cannot be topped. They will never find more perfect actors to play those parts.

Do kids today know who Popeye is? Is there a demand for this movie?

I actually watched a trailer for Popeye the Sailorman Foxstar this weekend.
That sent me down a rabbit hole about the actual Popeye. He was a pretty interesting character.
Apparently Olive Oyl was based on a real person too and looked a lot like the cartoon.

If Robin Williams can't get it right, nobody can. This is flushing money down the toilet.
