Overview
- The Hollywood Reporter says Hasbro and Working Title are developing a feature film adaptation of the British Action Man toyline, with the reporting framed as unconfirmed.
- Writers Simon Hatt and Anthony Sellitti are reported to be penning the screenplay and producer Jeremy Latcham is attached to the project.
- The creative team has pitched the movie as a British-flavored action-comedy and used a stunt pre-visualization to illustrate their tone and action approach.
- The project is in early development with no announced director, cast, production schedule or formal confirmation from Hasbro or Working Title, and Hasbro declined to comment.
- Action Man began as a Palitoy toyline in 1966, was reimagined in the 1990s and revived in the 2010s, and Working Title’s track record with British films is cited as a fit for the adaptation.
