Michael Bay’s Dora the Explorer to get summer 2019 release

Michael Bay’s live-action ‘Dora the Explorer’ to be released in August 2019.
The 52-year-old filmmaker has turned children’s favourites ‘Transformers’ and the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ into successful cinema franchises and last October her turned his attention to the educational American animated series.
‘Dora the Explorer’ is a children’s television programme which first aired in 2000 and is based around the adventures of the titular Spanish-speaking girl, her monkey Boots, her Backpack and other animated friends.
In each episode, Dora would go on an adventure in an animated world set inside a computer and the titular character would ask for viewers’ help in solving a puzzle or mystery she faced, teaching children both basic Spanish and puzzle solving skills.
For the upcoming movie, no casting has been announced.
Bay’s Platinum Dunes label and his partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller are reportedly producing the movie with director Nick Stoller, who will be penning the script.
Although the TV series focused on a young Dora, the live-action movie will centre around the titular character as a teenager who moves to the city to live with her cousin Diego, who also had his own spin-off show ‘Go Diego Go’.
Paramount Pictures are looking to distribute the movie, as the studio is devoted to creating films from the Viacom brands including Nickelodeon – on which ‘Dora the Explorer’ aired – MTV, Comedy Central and BET.
‘Dora the Explorer’ ran for 14 years and was geared towards the younger viewers, with the franchise also branching out into dolls, video games and merchandise.
Although Bay has left the ‘Transformers’ franchise, a sixth still scheduled for a summer 2019 release date even though the planned blockbuster is yet to get a director.
The fifth film in the franchise ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ is the last movie to be directed by Bay who will not be returning for the next sequel.
Paramount and Hasbro, who own the rights to the brand, are moving ahead with the next movie and are confident they can find the right director to helm the project and stick to their proposed release schedule.
