Long-running comic book character ARCHIE is heading to the big screen – but, of course, it wouldn’t be the same without some controversy along the way.
It was originally reported that the film would see our protagonist take on a wave of the undead, with the story being based on Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s (GLEE) Afterlife With Archie series. However, the story has change and, alas, the zombies have been left behind. ARCHIE will now face a ‘teenage midlife crisis’ (because we’ve all had one of those), with him trying to fit in before graduating from high school.
As far as we know PITCH PERFECT director Jason Moore is still onboard.
What do you think? Is a teenage identity crisis scarier than a mob of the recently deceased? I don’t think so!
