Warner Brothers Producing "Archie" Live Action Movie, based on the comic book series

[kemcha]

Looks like Warner Brothers is moving forward with producing a live action version of the long running comic book series, "Archie".

The studio has just closed a deal to make a live-action movie based on the long-running comic, with Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) directing and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (the new Carrie) writing. There’s no official logline right now, but there’s reason to believe the team will spice up Archie’s usual high school shenanigans with the presence of zombies.

The deal comes not long after Aguirre-Sacasa signed on to write a horror-inflected Archie title, Afterlife with Archie, which will debut later this year. The book sees Archie and his gang dealing with a zombie apocalypse that’s somehow Jughead’s fault. No plot details for the movie have been confirmed at the moment, but Deadline speculates that Aguirre-Sacasa’s hiring means zombies will be involved in one way or another.
