We made a version that we were happy with, and the studio didn’t like that version. It’s still a mystery for me that they didn’t like that version. They wanted to do “Popeye” for the brand recognition and I loved the character and grew up with it, so there was a tug of war. They wanted it really updated, and I can only update it a little before it isn’t “Popeye” anymore. To be truthful, it was in the middle of the Sony hack and the studio was really struggling. It was just really bad timing.
Du coup, même avec le succès de la suite d'Hôtel Transylvannie, il y a peu de chances que le film se fasse, à moins que Sony donne carte blanche à Tartakovsky.
