Elstree Studio Productions has confirmed that they are planning a ‘live action’ version of the classic 1980s “Bananaman” superhero animated shorts and comic strip.

The cartoon and comic, a parody of other superhero features, followed an English schoolboy who turns into a superhero when he eats a banana.

The news first emerged when Den of Geek discovered an official site, BananamanMovie.com, which also revealed the film’s slogan – #PeelThePower.

An Elstree spokesman confirms there is a completed script and that a film would be due for release in 2015.
