Mighty Mouse flies onto the big screen

The super powered cartoon mouse is making it’s way into theaters as Paramount Pictures gets ready to reboot Mighty Mouse, says the LA Times. The tiny super hero made his first appearance back in the 1940s, spawning off into several animated television shows, a limited release movie and quite a few comics. The thing about this property is that Mighty Mouse has been in development for years under Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies. The two have been going back and forth with directors and writers so much that they figure that the time is now to go and finally put this picture into full-motion.

This should not sound as much of a surprise, given the fact that there’s a sudden re-emergence of cartoon properties that are quickly getting scooped up to get the hybrid live action/animation treatment. There are a few properties that are getting such treatment, like The Smurfs and Yogi Bear, that are both currently in production.

Next on the distribution slate for Paramount Pictures is the highly anticipated Marvel Studios feature Iron Man 2 for this May 7th, while Nickelodeon Movies readies up their summer tentpole film The Last Airbender, poised for release on July 2nd.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
