‘Rugrats’ Live-Action Movie in the Works at Paramount With CGI Babies
variety.comRebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter “Rugrats” is returning to the big screen. Paramount is developing a live-action/ CG hybrid feature film that’s based on the beloved ’90s animated children’s TV show.
Tommy Pickles and his pals Chuckie Finster and Phil and Lil DeVille will be animated in the movie, which is set in the real world à la “Sonic the Hedgehog.” It’s unclear who from the original series — the foursome is orbited by bully Angelica Pickles (and her doll Cynthia, who’s a really cool dancer), Tommy’s baby brother Dil Pickles, dog Spike, as well as their parents Didi and Stu Pickles, Chas Finster, Drew and Charlotte Pickles and Betty and Howard DeVille — will appear in the upcoming film.
Jason Moore, whose credits include “Pitch Perfect” and the Tina Fey-Amy Poeheler comedy “Sisters,” is directing the film. “Saturday Night Live” actor Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidell penned the script.
Karen Rosenfelt is producing, along with “Rugrats” co-creators Arlene Klasky and Gábor Csupó. “Rugrats” premiered on Nickelodeon in 1991 and ran for several seasons.
