Joel Silver developing Ben 10 movie

*Joel Silver has signed on to develop a live-action feature film based
on Ben 10.*
The Cartoon Network show has consistently high ratings, managing over
4 million viewers for recent live-action TV movie _Ben 10: Race
Against Time_.

Now Matrix producer Joel Silver is hoping to make the series a
big-screen film franchise.

Ben 10 is the story of Ben Tennyson, a boy who can transform into 10
different alien creatures with the aid of his Omnitrix, a device he
wears on his wrist.

Joel Silver said, “I think we have to try something fresh and go
at it in a way that stays true to the original material”.

He continued, “I have a 5-year-old and a 9-year-old, so
it’s somewhere between them.”

The TV movie was live-action, but will be completely re-cast for the
big screen.

The last time Silver aimed for a younger audience, we ended up with
_Speed Racer_ - a film that flopped so hard you can still hear the
echo.

Still, here's hoping he gets this one right, for the sake of the
children.
