Live-Action Kim Possible Movie

[TurtleTitan97]

Disney is working on a live-action Kim Possible movie, more than 15 years after the original animated series debuted, the studio announced today.
The studio is currently casting for the role of Kim Possible — a teenage girl trying to balance working as a secret agent and normal high school life — but there aren’t any actors attached to the movie right now. Series creators Mark McCorkle, Robert Schooley and Josh Cagan will write the script and act as executive producers on the film, with Adam B. Stein and Zach Lipovsky set to co-direct. There is no estimated release date at this time.
This is the first live-action treatment of Kim Possible, but it’s not the first feature-length movie to star the heroine. Disney produced two animated, direct-to-TV films: Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama in 2005 and Kim Possible: A Stitch in Time in 2003. The series ran for 87 episodes on the Disney Channel before the show ended.

Welp, time to relive KimGo all over again

[Vicky82]

Awesome :D

Funny that i've been re watching the series for the last week.

[drgon78]

As much as would love this to happen, I just can't think that they will screw this one up somehow. God I hope I am wrong and turns out to be awesome.

Same here. But hopefully with the original creators attached it will at least turn out decent.

[ranger_scout]

I'm nervous about this because I really enjoyed this cartoon when I was a teen and Christy Carlson Romano and Friedle have always been Kim and Ron to me. Still, this might turn out to be pretty fun if they do it right.

[Redeemer]

I wonder if Drakken will be blue :lol:
I watched the show a lot for a grip and was really great for what it was.
I don't have high expectations for this movie and I am just waiting for the fan backlash no matter how good or bad this movie will be. :lol:

[Vicky82]

I expect Rufus will be CGI.

[Prowler]

That's funny, today on the bus I was riding, this woman's mobile phone's ringtone/text tone was the same as Kim Possible's. Funny coincidence.

Isn't Kim Possible's fad pretty much over, though? The cartoon ran from 2002 to 2007. Or are they trying to revive it?

Kim Possible was after my time, so I've never got around to watch it much or care much for it. It had its moments, though. Seemed alright for what it was.

[ZariusTwo]

It's not exactly one of those cartoons that demands a reboot. It told it's story, Kim and Ron got together, it making it past 65 episodes through fan support was considered a break-through achievement for it's time too.

The movie does seem to come very late, then. I remember Kim and Ron ending up together, which seems like something that could have been done in a movie finale or something. So what will this movie add? Just a new adventure for old times sake?

In case you haven't noticed all old shows are going through revivals lately. Same reason Powerpuff girls got a reboot, Teen Titans Go, Animaniacs is getting a new series...or we have stuff like new TMNT cartoons or Young Justice Season 3. And biggest of all Dragonball Super, nobody ever expected a new Dragonball series after 18 years.

In live-action there's the X-files, Full House, etc.

It seems TV is going through full "nostalgia" mode and reviving almost every old popular series from the 90's or 2000's.

There doesn't seem to be any new KP cartoon series, though, so this news surprised me a little. A live action movie to boot, 11-12 years after the cartoon series ended seems to be a bit random. Would have been better to just have a new KP cartoon series or something.

[drgon78]

I would prefer that they just make an animated movie.

Is this a theatrical release, made for TV movie, or strait to video?

Oh lord, this is all we need. Cybercubed shipping Kim and Shego.

I was a really big KP fan. I remember when the series was at its peak, I thought that Lindsay Lohan would've been a natural pick to play a live Kim. Obviously, she wouldn't be the right person to play her now.

Funny that i've been re watching the series for the last week.

Really? If you don't mind me asking. How have you been watching the series. The dvd season sets are WAY overpriced.

I'm watching it on Amazon video, The seasons are £8.99 each.

I was in my early teens for when this show came out so never got into it but my French teacher used to love it and make constant references. She's a red head right? I wonder if they'll make her black since it seems to be the trend. If they don't then I wonder if it's because she's the main character. I also guess they won't let them use Kim's outfits anymore.

This has potential if they make a good kids mystery/action movie, I always loved those as a kid. Recess Live Action Movie when Disney? When?

Edit: Oh and they own Doug..live action Doug When Disney?

[drgon78]

That is very disappointed to hear that it is a Disney channel movie. Now I have no hope that it will be good.

[sdp]

A big budget Hollywood movie doesn't mean it's better, the Kim Possible idea is already cheesy, a low budget effort might be the better alternative so it's fine being a Disney Channel film.

christy romano would've been a great Kim if it this movie had come out back when the cartoon was airing. She was still older then but people would've accepted it. Whatever happened to her, she seemed to have "it" to make it.

[ABrown]

I'm watching it on Amazon video, The seasons are £8.99 each.

Hmm. Yes, it appears that they do have the complete series. However, it looks like most of the episodes are in approximately 10 episode sets for about $20 U.S. dollars each. It would total up to about $150 dollars for the whole series. Didn't really want to have to pay quite that much.

[drgon78]

I would love to get the whole series on Blu Ray.

Big budget is better more often then not. But that is not the point, I have never liked a single live action movie or series done by the Disney Channel. So of course I am worried.

[TurtleTitan97]

Filming will apparently start in April: https://www.backstage.com/news/kim-possibles-next-mission-live-action-tv-movie/


The movie will follow Kim Possible as she encounters a superhuman teen. When her new friend goes missing, it’s up to the high schooler to save him.

So they are setting it in high school again. If they are already filming who did they get to play Kim?

I hope the new friend isn't Ron because him and Kim are supposed to be best friends since pre school.

They aren't filming now, It says April.

Geese, Christy Carlson Romano is still smoking hot. Is Will Friedle wearing a fat suit? I didn't even recognize him. Eh, who am I to talk.

[drgon78]

Not impressed with the casting but it is the Disney channel.

Funny video of the OS voice actors.

Apparently there were a lot of complaints that Sadie Stanley shouldn't have gotten the part because she doesn't have red hair.

Found these pics on Tumblr, so the complainers can shut up now, lol.

If they wanted to revive interest in the series why not make a animated movie or animated TV special.

Why isn't the actress wearing a belly shirt? To sexually suggestive?

[BabyTurtles]

A crop top would have worked, but I really like her version of the outfit! It's super cute ^_^ If little kids cosplay her it's probably better without the midriff shirt anyway.

[drgon78]

Looks bad but not surprised, it is the Disney Channel.

[sdp]

Yeah, they're likely afraid of using a crop top in today's climate. Someone recommended the original show and I think I'll watch the cartoon now.

The sleeves are not even the same length, it’s too skimpy above her elbows. And that crazy lower part of the pants is just a mess.

Why is she wearing ropes around her wrists? What’s the purpose other than looking like a twat?

What’s with the boob window but to make it kid friendly just place it smaller below her neck? If she went on a mission somewhere cold wouldn’t that hole + shorter sleeves + exposed lower pants defeat the purpose of keeping warm?

Just an impractical redundancy overall.

I’m annoyed by this travesty. The designer deserves a good slap on their face.

[ABrown]

I look at the cast, and I'm just not seeing Kim Possible (and the other characters).

It's nice to see Disney XD airing a huge slew of KP episodes to promote the movie.

[Shark_Blade]

This fan made look is more Kim Possible than that official movie one. :trolleye:

Christy Carlson Romano is set to make a cameo in the film! :D They've also got Patton Oswalt to reprise his role as Dementor! :D

Will Friedle was asked to appear in the film for a cameo, but he declined. :(

“I am not in the Kim Possible movie,” the actor, who voiced Ron Stoppable in the original series, told Page Six on Wednesday. “In all fairness, Disney asked and I just didn’t think it was for me.”

He continued, “It was a cameo and it’s one of those things where ‘Kim Possible’ was very important to me. It really is a very important show in my past and I hope they do it justice … It was not Disney’s fault, they absolutely asked me, but I’m the one who said ‘no.’ So it’s certainly not on them.”

Disney has released a first look at Christy Carlson Romano's character. It's such a treat to see her back at Disney.

“I’m here to pick Kim up because Kim doesn’t have a driver’s license. She doesn’t have her driver’s license, but she needs to get rides from the Marines or famous people, if you remember, to get to her missions. Kim is just like every teenager, but she happens to know some really important people, and Poppy Blue happens to be one of those important people.”

See Christy Carlson Romano’s character in the live-action Kim Possible movie (https://ew.com/tv/2019/01/29/christy-carlson-romano-kim-possible-first-look/)

[ranger_scout]

I enjoyed the movie. It really captured the spirit of the TV show and the action-adventure aspect didn't feel cheap. The acting was also pretty solid. I also liked how it acknowledged that no one, including over-achievers like Kim, is perfect and no one can be the best at everything. People can learn things every day and become better individuals.

Since we are most likely getting a sequel I am curious to see how Drakon entering high school as a child genius will be a plan to defeat Kim. I also had a feeling that Athena was bad, but now that she's a good guy and a third member of Kim's team I feel like she is taking Monique's place in the TV show.
