Popeye has had multiple iterations.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A live-action adaptation of Popeye the Sailor is now in development. Popeye originated as a character in a cartoon strip back in 1929. In the near-century since, the spinach-loving seaman has become one of the most beloved comic strip and animated characters. The sailor’s story was previously adapted into the 1980 film Popeye, starring late comedian Robin Williams.
As per Variety, a new Popeye movie is now in development. The live-action Popeye the Sailor Man project is said to be a big-budget feature, and will be coined by Michael Caleo. The production currently has no studio or main cast attached, but its development is confirmed. How Will This Popeye Movie Live Up To Previous Rendition of Popeye? The Caleo-written Popeye will be the first live-action version of the sailor to hit the big screen in 44 years, as the Williams version released in 1980. That film, made on a $20 million budget, grossed an impressive $60 million. Furthermore, it has gained cult classic status, especially among those who are fans of the beloved actor Williams.
Beyond the Williams Popeye movie, the sailor has gone through various iterations. Popeye the Sailor was also a short-form animated series that ran from 1960–1962. This series consisted of mini-episodes that were typically 6 minutes in length. These Popeye cartoons are beloved elements to the characters’ legacy.
