Cult character Emily the Strange is headed to big screen, with a feature film in development that plans to reveal her back story and the origins of her four cats.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed the news after speaking with the president of Dark Horse Entertainment, Mike Richardson, who said, "Emily herself is a very appealing little girl, there's an edge to her. There is something very alluring to her image; people see it and respond to it immediately."
Emily the Strange was designed in the early 1990's by skateboarder Rob Reger, who is still the creative director of the brand, and features on everything from t-shirts, handbags and her own comic book.
The movie concept has no studio backing as yet, and THR reports that there has been no decision on whether the movie will be "live-action, animation or a combination of the two." A decision on the lead actress has yet to be made.
