Disney is now casting for the live-action Kim Possible movie for the Disney Channel Original Movie franchise.
The live-action movie script writers are the creator of the animated series, which includes Emmy Award-winning creators/executive producers Mark McCorkle and Robert Schooley (Kim Possible, Big Hero 6: The Series, The Penguins of Madagascar) – and Josh Cagan (The DUFF, Bandslam).McCorkle, Schooley and Zanne Devine, who produced or executive-produced over a dozen feature films including I, Tonya and Easy A, are executive producers.
The movie is co-directed and co-produced by Adam B. Stein and Zach Lipovsky.Blyth Nailling (ABC’s Last Man Standing and Scrubs, FOX’s LA to Vegas, One Tree Hill and What I Like About You) is the casting director.
Adam Bonnett, executive vice president, Original Programming, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, “Mark and Bob created an enduring character and kids all over the world found a friend in her, an average girl who just happens to spend her off-school hours thwarting evil villains. Although Kim Possible ‘can do anything,’ kids and tweens found that this animated redhead was just like them. As we embark on the fun challenge of making Kim and Ron fully dimensional, I’m thrilled to be working again with Mark and Bob and to welcome the addition of a dynamic creative team – Josh, Zanne, Adam and Zach – into a world where anything is indeed possible.”
The original animated series, launched in 2002, inspired two hugely popular animated original movies, Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama in 2005, which was the first animated title in the Disney Channel Original Movie franchise, and Kim Possible: A Stitch in Time in 2003.
