Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Bad Robot are teaming up to bring the beloved character Emily the Strange, to the big screen in a full-length animated feature.
Bad Robot is producing with Emily’s creator Rob Reger, who is set to executive produce alongside Trevor Duke-Moretz.
Pamela Ribon (“Nimona,” “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” “Moana”), who was nominated for an Academy Award for her animated short film “My Year of Dicks,” is writing the screenplay.
Emily and her four black cats have delighted fans for more than three decades.
The mischievous and sharp-witted Emily subscribes to the D.I.Y. philosophy of “think for yourself, do it yourself, be yourself,” and encourages her many followers to be all they can’t be, get lost in imagination and stay strange.
The feature film is the next step in the successful multimillion-dollar Emily the Strange universe of characters, books, comics, games, clothing and merchandise.
It’s been a long road to bring Emily’s story to the movies: Fox previously set up a film adaptation in 2005, while Universal planned a picture with Chloe Grace Moretz in 2010. Neither project got off the ground.
