Comic book author and apparent architectural pillar of the new DCU, Tom King, is writing the script.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe are longtime fans of Archie, Veronica, Betty, and the gang in all of their iterations,\u201d said Lord and Miller. \u201cWhen we heard Tom King\u2019s take on the classic material, we instantly thought it made sense as an event movie for all audiences \u2014 both lifelong fans and a whole new generation. We\u2019re so excited to bring these beloved characters to the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We have to assume King\u2019s take on the material will stand apart from the recent CW <em>Riverdale<\/em> series, which went in a very different direction. Nor do we imagine it will head down the dark horror angle of DC Comics\u2019 <em>Chilling Adventures of Sabrina<\/em> or <em>Afterlife with Archie<\/em> comics. So what could it be? Something akin to Greta Gerwig\u2019s <em>Barbie<\/em> movie definitely could work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Kyle Anderson is the Senior Editor for Nerdist.
