Nickelodeon’s ‘Legends of the Hidden Temple’ to Be Revived as TV Movie
Two new projects are underway for lovers of ’90s nostalgia at Nickelodeon.
According to Variety, Nickelodeon is now developing a live-action adaptation of hit game show, Legends of the Hidden Temple, which aired from 1993-1995. She is now starring in Nickelodeon’s sitcom “100 Things to Do Before High School”. The upcoming 2016 TV movie will be about three siblings trying to stay alive in a fictionalized version of the temple.
The movie will incorporate several elements from the show including Olmec, the talking head that knows all the secrets behind the temple and The Steps of Knowledge, which was the entrance to the temple and the start of the mission.
If the movie is even remotely faithful to the original show, there’ll be a scene where the spend half an hour trying to figure out how to put that godforsaken Shrine of the Silver Monkey.
Hidden Temple, meanwhile, will be a fantasy TV movie based of the ’90s game show Legends of the Hidden Temple, where contestants competed in physical challenges against the backdrop of a faux Aztecan setting. “What that says is there’s a tremendous amount of opportunity – not unlike what is going on in the grownup space”, says Viacom’s Cyma Zarghami, the company’s president of cable networks targeting kids and families to Variety.
Meanwhile in football-headed news, the much talked about Hey Arnold! film has been split in twain, and will now air in two-parts.
“There’s a tremendous amount of attention on kids these days”. The block showcases reruns of 1990s cartoons from the network like “Ren and Stimpy” and “Rugrats”.
