Jennifer Lopez could do with a hit if she wants to remain a movie star. Motherhood took her away from the film biz for several years and her return with The Back-Up Plan was roundly panned and ignored by audience. She has kept herseolf in the spotlight judging American Idol, but now it appears she wants to get back on screen with a film version of he video game and TV series Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

She’s teaming up with Walden Media (the Narnia movies) for the film, and while she’s currently only attached to produce, it’s believed the project is being put together for her to star in. In the movie, when the ACME agency’s greatest detective, Carmen Sandiego, becomes the world’s greatest thief, it’s up to her former partner to follow her clues and track her down. Their cat and mouse game leads the partner to confront a greater mystery: is Carmen really a thief or a hero? Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? started off as an educational video game before it spawned an animated TV series.

It isn’t known when the film might go into production.
