The live-action movies based on comic book storylines or animated characters are either hugely successful or a massive disappointment as we have witnessed in the recent adaptations. It seems like we’re all set to witness another adaptation of a very popular cartoon character, as it was recently announced that Michael Caleo is allegedly working on a live-action adaptation of Popeye the Sailor Man.

The character even celebrated its 95th anniversary earlier this year as it was first released in the 1929 comic Thimble Theater.

On the outside it looked like an old-fashioned paperback book. The words 'Doctor Who' were emblazoned in huge white-bordered blue letters on the rose-red background above the bold black proclamation 'And The Pyramids Of Mars'. Underneath them, a floppy-hatted, curly haired time traveller with an impressively long scarf who I had recently discovered on a Saturday tea-time show adorned the cover, along with a menacing, barrel-chested Egyptian mummy and a rifle wielding young woman who I was pretty sure wasn't the same girl who accompanied him on the television.

The film will be produced by Prelude Features' Frederick Muller in association with executive producers Edward R. Pressman, Floyd Bradley of Prelude Features and Timothy Prager, who also wrote the script. "Bruce is a real classical music aficionado, and he's done a film in this area before," said Pressman, citing the 2001 drama Bride of the Wind, which featured Gustav Mahler as a main character. "But it's a love story first and foremost, with political upheaval and a large canvas in the spirit of 'Doctor Zhivago.' "...
