Oh dear. Why do the idiots in Hollyweird insist on trying to turn animated
shows into live-action movies!? :-(

Albert Torres to Draft Live Action Ben 10
-----------------------------------------
First announced last year, Joel Silver is working to
bring the Cartoon Network property Ben 10 to theaters.
Today, Variety has confirmed that Albert Torres has
boarded the project as the screenwriter.
Created by Man of Action (Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan
Rouleau, Steve Seagle), the series is about a boy (Ben
Tennyson) who discovers a strange wrist watch that
allows him to transforms into 10 different aliens with
super powers. It premiered on Cartoon Network in
January 2006 and quickly became a global hit, reaching
more than 165 countries. With these powers, Ben can
play the part of a superhero, righting wrongs, saving
the world and getting into some old-fashioned kid-style
trouble. A #1 hit for the network on Saturday mornings,
the "Ben 10" saga continued to expand as a series,
first with "Ben 10: Alien Force" in April 2008 and then
with "Ben 10: Ultimate Alien" in spring 2010.
Torres is best known as the writer of "Henry Poole is
Here" and recently contributed to "Akira" at Warner
Bros.
