The upcoming live-action Powerpuff Girls series has hit a roadblock – the finished pilot episode is set to be rewritten and re-shot after the CW decided not to take it to series.
The Powerpuff pilot was written and executive produced by
Juno director Diablo Cody and Veronica Mars screenwriter Heather Regnier, and the duo are still on board, as are cast members Dove Cameron, Chloe Bennett, Yana Perrault, and Donald Faison, but it s gone back to the drawing board.
The series, based on the popular Cartoon Network animated series, will follow the superpowered trio (Cameron, Bennett, and Perrault) as disillusioned twenty-somethings – they resent having lost their childhood to crime-fighting, and their father Professor Utonium (Faison) is attempting to repair his broken relationship with them. The original cartoon ran from 1998 to 2005, with an animated reboot airing in 2016.
According to Collider, the pilot episode for the upcoming live-action
Powerpuff Girls series, which is being developed by The CW, is set to be rewritten and reshot with all of the lead cast, writers and producers remaining on the project.
Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody, who serve as writers and executive producers, will also be handling the rewrite for the series set to star Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, Yana Perrault, and Donald Faison as Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Professor Utonium respectively. The long-time producer of CW show’s Greg Berlanti will team with Sarah Schechter and David Madden to executive produce via Berlanti Productions. Warner Bros. Television will also produce.
Following the news that The CW has decided to rework the Powerpuff pilot, the script for the current interpretation has reportedly leaked online, and it's. certainly something. Take a look.
