To be honest, I never watched The Powerpuff Girls cartoon. I don’t know why, I just didn’t. But the way that the live action show is casting, I am probably going to be sitting here watching the show.
Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup – I don’t know anything about them. But I do know in the live action show they will be played by Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron and Yana Perreault. And now added to the cast is Donald Faison, who is set to portray Professor Drake Utonium.
The show will center around Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup who are now twenty somethings who resent the loss of their childhood to crime fighting. Are the going to reunite? Will they stay pissed and apart? Who knows. But we do know that the world needs them now more than ever.
Professor Drake is described as, “a scientific genius who is immensely proud of the three extraordinary girls he created in his lab. Staring down a midlife crisis, he is determined to repair his relationships with his now-adult daughters.”
Powerpuff is written by Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier.
Does it sound like a show you’d watch? What do you think of the casting?
