20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios announced a deal today to bring the beloved Peanuts gang back to the big screen in time for the 65th anniversary of Charlie Brown's comic strip debut.
The studio had been in talks with the estate of the late Peanuts creator Charles Schulz for two years to land the rights to make the film. The untitled animated movie will be released November 25, 2015.
The film will be directed by Steve Martino (Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!, Ice Age: Continental Drift) from a script by Craig Schulz and the writing team of Bryan Schulz & Cornelius Uliano. (Craig and Bryan are Charles Schulz's son and grandson, respectively.)
"We have been working on this project for years. We finally felt the time was right and the technology is where we need it to be to create this film," said Craig Schulz in a statement. "I am thrilled we will be partnering with Blue Sky/Fox to create a Peanuts movie that is true to the strip and will continue the legacy in honor of my father."
