The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the "Peanut" gang are making their big screen debut in 2015.

To give Peanuts fans a glimpse of the CG-Animated Feature film in 3D, the 20th Century Fox released its first trailer on Thursday.

The movie will be released in November 2015, in time for Peanuts' 65th anniversary.

Steve Martino will direct the “Peanuts” feature while the screenplay is created by Craig Schulz and the writing team of Bryan Schulz & Cornelius Uliano. Craig Schulz and Bryan Schulz, respectively Mr. Schulz’s son and grandson, along with Uliano are producing.

Also playing a key role in the deal was Neil Cole, chief executive officer and president of Iconix Brand Group (NASDAQ: ICON), which, in a joint venture with Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates, formed Peanuts Worldwide in 2010, the home to the global “Peanuts” property.

Twentieth Century Fox Animation director of development Ralph Millero worked closely with Morrison and with the Schulz estate in securing the rights to the property.

“This is a momentous step for the Peanuts brand. The beloved characters, Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the whole gang resonate with multiple generations all over the world,” said Neil Cole, CEO, Iconix Brand Group.

“This film will give us a new medium in which to engage consumers globally and showcase the power of the Peanuts brand,” added Cole.
