Paramount developing Planet of the Nerds movie

October 28, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Paramount Players has acquired the movie rights to the acclaimed graphic novel Planet of the Nerds from creators Paul Constant, Alan Robinson, Randy Elliott and Felipe Sobreiro.

Published by AHOY Comics, Planet of the Nerds follows three high school jocks in the 1980s who are accidentally frozen by an experimental cryogenics device, only to be revived almost 40 years later. They awake in today’s computer-driven, superhero movie-loving world— in an era ruled by nerds.

Described as “capturing the goofy joy of 80s classics like Revenge of the Nerds, Back To The Future, and Real Genius” whilst updating for a different age, Planet of the Nerds is available now on comic book shops, and goes on sale in bookstores from October 29th.
