if it is as good as the 90s toon was I am sold

 

[Lencho01]

That film with Jennifer Lopez (if I remember correctly) must've lost support.

 

[Dave McFly]

well J Lo as Carmen would have been cool too, this was the first I EVER heard of it

 

[Sawyer]

Of all properties to make a live action franchise out of, I'm stunned this hasn't happened yet.

 

[psylockolussus]

I haven't even heard of this property until now.

 

[Dave McFly]

not even the old PC games and I think they did a show with live action elements on PBS.

It's Official: Carmen Sandiego Is Getting Her Own Animated Netflix Series

Wait so this is also a Live Action Movie!

Gina Rodriguez to Play Carmen Sandiego in Netflix's Live-Action Movie

Gina Rodriguez will play the criminal mastermind in Netflix’s live-action movie.

Rodriguez was already cast in the streaming service’s planned animated revival of Carmen Sandiego, based on the long-running edutainment franchise. She’s joined in that 20-episode project by Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) as her primary accomplice, Player.

Give this girl a red fedora!

Rockapella or bust.

Jump to 2:14 -
should jump automatically.

In The cartoon she was voiced by Rita Moreno, (who I'm sure Gina Rodriguez will channel) famous among other things for
The Electric Companies opening yell "HEY YOU GUYS!!!" - Ask your parents kids.
Which started every episode.

...yes that's Morgan Freeman jogging! ...who yes played Spider-Man on several Electric Company skits.


This episode has a bit of a possible origin for her, although it's left open-ended.

See an exclusive first look at Netflix's 'Carmen Sandiego' animated series

Netflix has officially announced that its upcoming Carmen Sandiego reboot will premiere Jan. 18. Gina Rodriguez will voice the woman underneath the hat for 20 episodes (each 22 minutes long), before also starring in a live-action Carmen Sandiego movie for the streaming service. For now, EW has an exclusive first look at the animated series.

"20 episodes (each 22 minutes long"

Very stylized visual look for the character, looks a bit to young. Still charming yet with a pulpy edge. (probably just the hat and trench coat LOL).
I hope she has all her diesel-punk style vehicles and gadgets.

Also really looking forward to the live action take too.

 

[Primal Slayer]

is Carmen 12?

 

[Breogan]

Agree they chose a visual that makes her look young, yet hopefully with Gina's voice (and attitude) she'll read a bit older.

Although that's likely what the Live Action version will be for.

 

[Breogan]

Netfix now shows this image on their menu.

Anyone familiar with the implied villains?
A reference to anyone from V.I.L.E. ?


And obviously St.Petersburg red square on the right, assuming it's not made up anyone place the monument on the left?
Doesn't read as the Louvre?
Museum Natural History NY?
Vatican City Museum?

So are these the new Zack and Ivy ?

Also this tech-sphere seems like it's going to play a significant role. Any precedence for it in any of the games or cartoon?

 

[Breogan]

Finn Wolfhard is 'Player'!

From the pic. looks like that might be him on her phone.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Rockapella or bust.

 

[Breogan]

Rockapella or bust.

Maybe it'll be her ring-tone.
