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.
