The beloved cast of the Peanuts Gang are returning to big screen, this is huge news I mean the last Charlie Brown related film released was back in 1980. I for one have never been a fan of "Peanuts" but that's not to say I dislike it, I just have no general opinion on it.
The late Charles Schulz's son is involved in the film and is working on bringing the famous Charlie Brown and Snoopy to the Silver Screen again in 2015. Believe it not the film will NOT be made using CGI, yeah you did read that correctly no CGI it's looking for likely that a lucky hand animation studio will be given this incredible task.
"Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (ICON) announced today that Peanuts
Worldwide, a joint venture with Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates,
will release a Peanuts feature film worldwide in 2015. The film is based
on creator, Charles Schulz’s, iconic comic strip. Snoopy, Charlie Brown
and the rest of the gang are among the most recognized characters in
the world.
The as yet untitled animated event will be released on November 25,
2015. 2015 will mark the 65th anniversary of the debut of the “Peanuts”
comic strip and the 50th anniversary of the landmark television special,
“A Charlie Brown Christmas.”
The Peanuts screenplay has been written and will be produced by Craig
Schulz, son of Charles Schulz along with his own son, Bryan Schulz and
Cornelius Uliano. Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios have been
chosen by the Schulz family to distribute, produce and animate the new
Peanuts movie. Steve Martino will direct; previously, he brought to the
big screen (with Jimmy Hayward) Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! Martino
also directed (with Michael Thurmeier) Fox’s recent box-office smash Ice
Age: Continental Drift."
