Nickelodeon Is Releasing A ‘Legends Of The Hidden Temple’ Live Action Movie!

File this under 100% pure nostalgia pleasing. Nickelodeon, the network that helped sculpt 90’s kids into the ironic hipsters that we are, is going back to it’s roots. They have green-lit a live action Legends of The Hidden Temple movie based off of the hit game show!

Production begins in March on the film. Unfortunately we aren’t going to be seeing the Purple Parrots failing to get across the water in the opening games. This is a high stakes action adventure movie based on the show. Three kids are after an ancient Mayan treasure as they embark on a journey into a…Mayan hidden temple.

The TV movie Legends of the Hidden Temple will follow three siblings who break away from a lackluster temple tour in a jungle, finding themselves immersed in a real-life mission comprised of obstacles that they must complete in order to escape alive. The TV movie will feature elements from the original game show including: Olmec, a talking head who knows the secrets behind the temple; The Steps of Knowledge, the entrance to the temple and launching pad for the mission; and cameos from a green monkey, red jaguar, and silver snakes, among others.  Legends of the Hidden Temple is executive produced by Scott McAboy and Jessica Rhoades, and produced by Amy Sydorick. The TV movie is directed by Joe Menendez (From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series) and written by Jonny Umansky & Zach Hyatt, and Alex Reid.

This announcement is on the heels of a push for Nickelodeon to bring their 90’s programming to the 10’s.

I cannot wait to see this movie. Yeah it will be for a much younger audience, but Legends of The Hidden Temple was one of my favorite shows growing up. One thing I love about seeing properties from my youth redone, is getting all the different references to the original work.

No release date has been announced.
