“Sonic the Hedgehog” director Jeff Fowler and “Bad Boys for Life” co-writer Chris Bremner are teaming for a new “Pink Panther” film at MGM.
The “Pink Panther” franchise is known for two variations. The first and most well known is the live-action form which included the various Peter Sellers and later Steve Martin-led films about the bumbling Inspector Clouseau.
The other is the animated incarnation of the characters which first appeared in the opening credits of those films and proved so popular they led numerous cartoon series in the ensuing decades.
This reboot will revolve around a detective character (whether Clouseau or not is unclear) who undergoes a traumatic event and begins hallucinating a cartoonish pink panther sidekick.
Dan Lin, Jonathan Eirich, Lawrence Mirisch and Julie Andrews will produce.
