The Tom Swift risky venture novel have been optioned by former Nickelodeon executive Albie Hecht for a new Web , TV and film franchise . Tom Swift has been zooming around the existence and building retro - contraption in well-nigh 100 book of account for roughly a century . What ’s taken Hollywood so long to make up aid ?
These books have inspired at least three generations . The first Tom Swift book hit the shelves in 1910 , and since then more than 20 million book have been sold in the serial . Swift protrude out as a “ scientific discipline Hero of Alexandria ” and discoverer , and later on his risky venture look at him into outer space . Some of the more recent books have titles like Tom Swift and the Mutant Beach or Tom Swift and the Rocket Racers .
Tom Swift books inspire Alan Moore ’s own Tom Strong character , who is a science hero himself , and the Book ‘ taser ’ is an acronym for Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifle .
Although Hollywood has produced television versions of many other other twentieth C escapade franchises like The stout Boys , we ’ve never watch a Tom Swift series before . Luckily Albie Hecht ascertain potential in the Word of God . His movie Jimmy Neutron : Boy Genius , which later became a successful invigorate serial , is understandably an court to the 1910s boy scientific discipline poor boy . Will Tom Swift be another Jimmy Neutron ? I ’d rather see him in live action , so here ’s hoping that the Cartoon connection ’s late hit with the live action Ben 10 movie will permit them explore that route . If not , mayhap we can wait another hundred years .
