The popular Cartoon Network animated series Ben 10 is about to become a live action kids movie.

Joel Silver has signed on to develop a live-action feature film based on Cartoon Network’s “Ben 10″ sci-fi franchise, with an eye toward distribution through Warner Bros. The show, popular with boys, has consistently logged high ratings in both cartoon series and live-action TV movie form on the Turner kidnet, nearing the 4 million viewer mark with telepic “Ben 10: Race Against Time.” Silver said he aims to make the bigscreen version a potential franchise starter.
