"Sony Pictures has announced plans to turn E.C. Segar&amp;#039;s Popeye into an animated 3D movie. Avi Arad (Spider-Man) will produce the project, while Mike Jones is in talks to provide the screenplay. &amp;quot;I literally started singing the famous Popeye song [after securing the rights],&amp;quot; Arad told Variety. &amp;quot;What always blew me away is the level of the animation. It was so beautiful and unbelievably detailed.&amp;quot; Jones confessed that he is an &amp;quot;unabashed, lifelong Popeye fan&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Introducing this squinty-eyed sailor to a new generation also means reintroducing him to those who, like me, grew up with him,&amp;quot; he added. The storyline is said to involve the spinach-loving seaman&amp;#039;s girlfriend Olive Oyl, enemy Bluto and his adopted child Swee&amp;#039;Pea. A live-action Popeye movie was released in 1980 with Robert Altman directing Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall in the lead roles. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
