Back in 2015 it was announced that Michael Keaton would be producing an adaptation of Brian Joines and Bachan’s Boom! Studios comic book series Imagine Agents, and now it seems that the project is starting to move forward.
THR is reporting that 20th Century Fox has tapped Richie Keen (Fist Fight) to direct the film, which Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) has come on board to produce through his 21 Laps Entertainment.
The comic “tackles the idea that the imaginary friends of children are actually very real and centers on an organization titled I.M.A.G.I.N.E., which handles things when these figments get out of control [and tells the story of] a jaded 20-year veteran agent who must mentor a young archivist, with a routine day becoming something much larger.”
Keaton, Levy, Michael Sugar and Boom’s Ross Richie are producing the film, with Stephen Christy, Dan Cohen and Ashley Zalta executive producing and Adam Yoelin overseeing for Boom! Studios.
