Saw this on Bleeding Cool...

The man behind Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack, and Symbiotic Titan (and the new Hotel Transylvania) will be given the job of introducing the world to the greatest comic strip EVER. Dangerous waters, tho. Although Popeye remains one of my favorite movies ever, most people don't ... er... appreciate it as much.

I loved the Altman Popeye film. If this sticks to the comic strip and the Fleischer cartoons it will be good.

Then wouldn't Popeye have to debut as a supporting character in someone else's film first? ;)

Could be very interesting. I'm intrigued by this.

HAHA,Ok let me rephrase it. I hope it sticks to the comic strip,from after Popeye had become the main star.

Tartakovsky revealed last March that he’d parted company with “Popeye,” which has been in development since 2011, because he didn’t think his vision for the film matched the studio’s.

However, Sony Pictures Animation appears to be pushing ahead with its adaptation of “Popeye.”Deadline reports the studio has hired video game and film writer T.J. Fixman to pen the 3D-animated adaptation of the classic comic strip.

He'd taken all he could stands and he could stands no more.
