Warner Bros. are planning a Sesame Street movie. Shawn Levy, the filmmaker who co-produced this week’s big release Arrival and the Netflix TV series Stranger Things, is set to produce the Sesame Street movie for the studio. He revealed all to ScreenRant while out and about on the Arrival junket.
“Sesame Street is at Warner Bros, and we are right now working on a treatment for what I think is going to be a really imaginative and entertaining take on that beloved and decades old global brand. The trick there is to honour these characters that are beloved but in a movie that feels entertaining for the kids who we might bring to the movie but humorous on that second level for those parents who bring their kids. It’s early – we’re still at the treatment stage, but very bullish on that.”
The project was previously set-up at 20th Century Fox.
Levy also has a big-screen adaptation of the video game Uncharted in the works, which he will direct. His previous credits include the Night At The Museum trilogy, Cheaper By The Dozen and Real Steel.
