A teenage live action Dora the Explorer is heading to the big screen in Dora and the Lost City of Gold.
The popular Nickelodeon animated series Dora The Explorer is headed to the movies in a new-live action venture with Dora and the Lost City of Gold. The idea of the film is not to focus on Dora as the seven-year-old we see in the cartoons, but instead as a teenager, as she moves to the big city to live with her cousin Diego.
Nickelodeon's official synopsis for the movie reads:
Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare Dora (Isabela Moner) for her most dangerous adventure ever – High School. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots, Diego (Jeffrey Wahlberg), a mysterious jungle inhabitant (Eugenio Derbez), and a rag tag group of teens on a live-action...

Against an idyllic backdrop of blue lagoons and white beaches, he falls madly in love with Maria (Claudia Traisac,“Cuentame”).

Escobar: Paradise Lost is a fine thriller that cannot live up to its title’s pretensions. Both parts before and after the colon promise a dramatic heft the film does not quite achieve. It is neither a probing, complex character study of Colombia’s most notorious drug kingpin nor is it a rich drama of sordid themes that its Milton-alluding subtitle suggests. Instead, the debut from Italian actor Andrea Di Stefano is an exciting cat-and-mouse thriller between a monstrous villain and his niece’s aloof, Canadian husband, the man who gets caught up in a whirlwind of Colombian corruption.
The young man on the run is Nick Brady (Josh Hutcherson), a Canadian surfer who we first see with his older brother (Brady Corbet) on the idyllic Colombian coastline. Boarding and working at equal measure, Nick finds his deepest salvation in the form of Maria (Claudia Traisac), a beautiful native who quickly falls for him.
