Viacom’s Nickelodeon discussed today what its future hold and one of the giant elements is a blast from its 90’s rich past. This blast its past is none other than the classic show Legends of the Hidden Temple.  But it will be coming to us as a live-action TV movie in addition to that we will be seeing a 2 part movie on Hey Arnold!.

 

The new direction Nickelodeon is heading is a direction that classic Nick fans have been requesting for years. Apparently the official idea came from a group of interns about five years ago.  According to executives

“Interest in the Nick library was becoming louder and louder and louder.”

To which we say… no fucking shit… we said this over three years ago easy.

In “Hidden Temple,” three siblings must conquer a series of obstacles to remain alive, mirroring the theme of the original game show. The TV movie, slated to appear in the fourth quarter of 2016, will nod to other elements from the original 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. Isabela Moner, known from her role on Nick’s “100 Things to Do Before High School,” will star.The TV movie is directed by Joe Menendez and written by Jonny Umansky, Zach Hyatt, and Alex Reid. The “Arnold” movies are slated to appear in 2017.
