Paramount Players to Develop ‘Creepy Crawlers’ Feature Film
Paramount Players has picked up the film rights to “Creepy Crawlers,” the iconic toy brand owned by JAKKS Pacific, the two companies announced Wednesday.
“Creepy Crawlers has been an iconic brand since the 1960’s and we are honored to work with Neal Moritz, Paramount Players, and the Nickelodeon-Viacom Family in bringing it to life on the big screen,” said Stephen Berman, chairman & CEO of JAKKS Pacific. “We, and the studio, envision the property to be developed into a family adventure film in the vein of ‘Jumanji.'”
Neal H. Moritz is set to produce alongside Marc Gurvitz. Toby Ascher and Berman will serve as executive producers.
