Warner Bros. to make live-action 'Jonny Quest'

HOLLYWOOD, May 27 (UPI) -- Jonny Quest and his pals are in the works of becoming real-life characters in an upcoming adaption by Warner Bros. and director Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Spy Kids).

The adventures of the 1960s animated protagonist have been popular for years since the single season of ABC's Jonny Quest, inspiring many reboots and comic books in the '80s and '90s. But no live-action rendition of the daring character and his crew -- best friend Hadji, his dog Bandit and bodyguard Race Bannon -- has been made.

Who will be casted as these legendary characters has not been decided yet, CNN reports.

Doug Wildey's original Jonny Quest appeared on television for only one season due to the expensive nature of animation. Since then, Warner Bros. has struggled to successfully revive the series.

Zac Efron was once signed on to star as the real-life Quest in 2010, along with Dwayne Johnson as Race Bannon, but plans fell through. This time, it looks like the film might go all the way.
