“The Ghost Bride” creator Kai Yu Wu is resurrecting Casper the Pleasant Ghost. Deadline reviews Peacock is growing a live-action collection in regards to the iconic specter, with Wu writing and govt producing. Described as “a coming-of-age story that explores what it means to be alive,” “Casper” is a horror/journey present that’s “paying homage to ‘Riverdale’s’ darker interpretation of the Archie comics.”
Produced by UCP and DreamWorks Animation, the challenge might be set in highschool. “When a brand new household arrives within the small city of Everlasting Falls, Casper finds himself entangled in a thriller uncovering darkish secrets and techniques which have been buried for over 100 years,” the supply teases.
Casper first appeared in animated pics launched by Well-known Studios within the ’40s and ’50s. Harvey Comics have printed Casper comics since 1952. The character has led 5 animated TV exhibits in addition to a live-action movie, the 1995 Christina Ricci-starrer “Casper.” Just like the latter, the brand new Peacock collection will probably use CGI results.
“Hannibal” and “The Flash” are amongst Wu’s different credit. She served as head author on “The Ghost Bride,” and is an EP on the upcoming Disney+ collection “American Born Chinese language” and Freeform pilot “AZNBBGRL.”
