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.
