Charles Schulz’s iconic Peanuts gang will be lighting up the big screen in 2015 in a new film adaptation of the beloved comic turned cartoon series.
Twentieth Century Fox announced that not only will the film go ahead, it will also be in 3D. The announcement was made at CinemaCon on Thursday and was accompanied by a 3D projection of Charlie Brown to give panel members an idea of what to expect.
The movie will be written by Craig and Bryan Schulz, who are the son and grandson of Charles Schulz. It was a long time coming since Charles Schulz has kept a very tight hold on the rights to the Peanuts character even though he passed away in 2000.
Fox’s animation studio, Blue Sky Studios, will be creating the movie and HORTON HEARS A WHO director, Steve Marino, will be directing. This will be the first Charlie Brown movie since 1980 and we’re both extremely excited and nervous about this new adaptation!
