For this movie to be good Carmen has to be stealing things like the Great Pyramids and the National Date Line. Any less and I'm not interested.

Has J-Lo ruined other childhood classics that I cant remember?

Also I think this is pretty decent casting. Movie is going to be terrible of course and I won't watch it.

I played a PC version of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego when I was really young. I played it a bunch, but I don't recall if I ever beat it or not honestly.

I just really appreciate a geography video game and game show that was popular at the end of the Cold War. Everything was out of date after 6 months.

I prefer the later games, but Carmen Sandiego showed me all about geography. I would get so angry at the stupid kids who couldn't find Mexico on the map or some other easily identifiable country.

She should play her sexy cousin instead, Cummin Santiago. Then I would watch. It would be an origin story of how she got her name and would be filmed in a lot of dive bars and back alleys.

Jennifer Lopez is a pretty good choice for Carmen Sandiego, really. I don't get the problem.

Moreover, its not like Carmen Sandiego is some kind of beloved franchise that could even be ruined by whatever she does with the license.

Being able to beat one version of the game should be part of the audition process.

I don't think J-Lo could do it.

Spiced that up for you.




Anyway, as long as the game involves the camera doing still shots of famous landmarks while the characters talk about what other famous landmarks might be involved, it will be a faithful adaptation of the original.

Carmen worked for the ACME detective agency and was the world's best. She switched sides and became the world's greatest thief. Her former partner at the detective agency needs to bust her.

Yes, she talked by telephone with the other badguys.
At least in the spanish show (the kids program, not the cartoon one).
It was also awesome.

The whole concept behind the game was pretty cool and I think could be adapted into a good film.

There's not really anything they can ruin with the movie, as long as they keep Carmen as somewhat of an enigma for the first half of it.

Oh yeah, same here. I was waaaaay too young to be playing it though. It didn't stop me from trying to play this and Space Quest when I just had basic reading skills though. Good times. Watching those bobbies chase the crook and hearing that siren brings back such memories.
