Can he fix it? Anthony Ramos will soon find out as he’s set to star in a new Bob the Builder animated feature film from Mattel Films.
In the Heights’ Anthony Ramos will voice the title character, with Jennifer Lopez producing this new take on Bob the Builder. Felipe Vargas is attached to write the screenplay.
Per Variety, the film follows Roberto (aka Bob), who travels to Puerto Rico for a major construction job. From the official logline, audiences will see Bob as he “takes on issues affecting the island and digs deeper into what it means to build. Bob’s journey will celebrate the vibrant and colorful textures of the Caribbean Latin nations and their people.”
“Pairing Anthony and Felipe’s genius vision for the story will capture this beloved character in a manner that audiences who grew up with Bob will recognize, and all-new audiences will enjoy,” said Robbie Brenner, president of Mattel Films.
Ramos adds, “For years, Bob the Builder’s characters have inspired young people around the world,” he said. “A movie about friends working together, a celebration of a beautiful home they share, and how love can help to conquer any obstacle in your way. Can we fix it? Yes, we can!”
The hunt for a Bob the Builder director is on the way.
