. . . Then a Movie . . . long live Archie!

Aguirre-Sacasa, who became Archie Comics' new chief creative officer in March, is also writing the script for a live-action "Archie" movie for Warner Bros. After news of the deal broke in June, Aguirre-Sacasa told The Times' Hero Complex that it would be "a straight-up teen movie. It's Archie's coming-of-age story. Hopefully, it will be the 'Archie' movie people have been anticipating for 70-plus years." (There have been TV adaptations but no definitive big-screen treatment.)
