After 70 years of making kids and adults laugh, Archie and his pals are getting the Hollywood treatment in a highly anticipated new live action feature film!
Therefore it’s about time a feature film was finally underway! Very little is known about the movie except that it will be written by GLEE writer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and will be directed by PITCH PERFECT director, Jason Moore. The film will be released through Warner Brothers and is going to be a coming of age story filled with heartache, humour and hijinks.
Previously, there was one TV movie made back in 1990 called ARCHIE: TO RIVERDALE AND BACK AGAIN in which the beloved redhead returns to his iconic hometown for a high school reunion where he catches up with his best friends and fast flames as they deal with more adult issues.
No other live-action creation has been attempted since them, but over the years there have been countless TV shows and specials, graphic novels, Best Of collections and tons of memorabilia featuring Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and Reggie.
