Bad News Planeteers, Captain Planet Will NOT Be Going Live Action

Damn. The rumors of an upcoming live action Captain Planet and the Planeteers appears to be false.
Ecorazzi was the first to report the news that Warner Brothers was planning on producing a live action movie with the blue skinned, green haired eco super hero scheduled for late 2009. They had it:
Fire up the rumor mill, Planeteers! A recent entry to the somewhat-reliable Wikipedia info on Captain Planet (I check it everyday) says something interesting about our favorite green animated superhero.
Warner Brothers studio announced on January 18, 2008 that a live action movie is to be made and is scheduled for late 2009. The movie is currently in pre-production.
Oh. Dead. God. They can’t be serious, can they? A live-action version of the blue-skin, green-haired protector of Mother Earth and his five planeteers?
But Gristmill went and got all journalistic and called up Warner Brothers to confirm the news and came up with the unfortunate report that the rumors weren’t true.
Sadly, though, I must report that I then contacted the Warner folks (and their bros) and found out that this rumor is, in fact, “untrue.”
I know, I know. I too am crushed. But before you get your superhero-tights in a bunch, consider this: perhaps by our powers combined we could petition them to reconsider?
Damn. Damn damn damn.
