A new Peanuts movie is in the works

The L.A. Times is reporting that a deal has been struck between the Peanuts rightsholders and 20th Century Fox for a new Peanuts theatrical release.

  • 2015 release date, so don’t start popping the popcorn yet.
  • Cowritten by two Schulzes (son Craig and grandson Bryan) with Cornelius Uliano (who has writ as-yet-unproduced scripts for Dreamworks and Warner Bros.)
  • Directed by the guy who directed Horton Hears a Who and the latest Ice Age film

Here’s hoping it’s both good and successful!
