With the live action Jonny Quest movie apparently ramping up for production in 2009, World Leaders Entertainment, the production company behind the Adult Swim hit, The Venture Bros., is preparing for its first live-action production, the theatrical debut of The Venture Bros. Although the twisted and subversively hilarious adventures of The Venture Bros. are set all over the world, World Leaders are sticking to their indie roots by filming the movie almost entirely on locations in New York City or upper New York State, or on blue screen sets, with exotic locations or scientific devices to be filled in later. The cast will include both some of the original voice actors, like Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson and James Urbaniak as Dr. Venture and new actors for roles like Hank and Dean Venture (for whom an open casting call is now underway) and Parker Posey as Dr. Girlfriend. The story of the Venture Bros. movie is expected to include elements from several first season episodes, but the main focus will be a plan by Dr. Venture's archnemeis, The Monarch, to lure him into a trap using the allure of the beautiful Dr. Girlfriend. Johann Poseur, one of Broadway's best costume designers, is in talks to work on the Monarch's extravagant butterfly costume, with the dozens of the Monarch's henchmen expected to perform in a massive musical number midway in the film.
