Darren Lemke has become one of the go-to guys for family friendly movies, having worked on Shrek Forever After, The Nutcracker and Bryan Singer’s upcoming Jack the Giant Killer. Now he’s been hired to write the script for Walden Media’s movie based on Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?
J-Lo is still attached to star as ACME agency’s greatest detective, Carmen Sandiego, who becomes the world’s greatest thief. It’s up to her former partner to follow her clues and track her down. Their cat and mouse game leads the partner to confront a greater mystery: is Carmen really a thief or a hero? Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? The franchise started off as an educational video game before it spawned an animated TV series.
There’s no news on when it might shoot, but it’s a decent enough set-up for a movie.
