Today, a new report announced that Brad Peyton has boarded a live-action Bakugan movie. He is set to write, direct, and produce the feature film. The movie will be based on the toy game and animated series of the same name.
“Bakugan is a global franchise with a multi-generational and devoted fanbase, built on the strength of its compelling characters and explosive battles. As fans who were part of its initial craze now enter adulthood, we are thrilled to be working with accomplished filmmaking talent like Brad to reimagine Bakugan in live action, expanding the franchise for fans while introducing it to new audiences around the world.” – Jennifer Dodge, Spin Master Entertainment’s President.
Peyton is best known for directing the disaster-action movie San Andreas with Dwayne Johnson and, most recently, Atlas with Jennifer Lopez. Peyton and Lindsay Harbert are teaming up with Spin Master Entertainment on the screenplay.
