There were plans in 2014 to put a live-action Betty Boop movie into production but they seem to have stalled permanently. If the project gets restarted, who would you cast to play Betty Boop in a new live-action motion picture?
"Betty Boop is returning to the big screen, with Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment and Animal Logic Entertainment developing and producing the first feature-length film for the feisty cartoon flapper. The project has been in the works for several months with Fleischer Studios, owner of the Betty Boop charater, partnering with Syco Entertainment and Animal Logic — which performed the animation for “The Lego Movie” — on a music-driven hybrid animated comedy. Producers are Zareh Nalbandian and Jason Lust from Animal Logic and Cowell and Adam Milano from Syco. No writer or director is attached yet. Betty Boop first appeared in 1930 and made numerous appearances in Max Fleischer’s “Talkartoons” and her own cartoon series as a fun-loving, flirtatious character with a signature line “Boop-oop-a-doop!” The bobbed-hair, short-skirted character became the first female animated star at the end of the Roaring ’20s."
