Cartoon Network plans to make second live-action 'Ben 10' telefilm
Cartoon Network is moving forward with a live-action/CGI telefilm based on its animated series "Ben 10: Alien Force," tapping Alex Winter to direct and John Turman to write the script.
The movie follows November's live-action movie "Ben 10: Race Against Time," which Winter also directed. That telefilm was based on the original "Ben 10" series, in which 10-year-old Ben Tennyson, played by Graham Phillips, right, found a watchlike device that allowed him to transform into various alien life forms, each with unique powers.
"Alien Force" will be based on the network's second animated "Ben 10" series, in which Ben is a teen and has discovered the ability to transform into a new set of aliens.
The show debuted in April as the network's most-watched original series premiere among kids 6-11.
Winter also will executive produce "Alien Force," which Cartoon chief content officer Rob Sorcher said will be a "visually brilliant film." .
