Archie Comics: Difference between revisions

In late 2014 [[FOX]] announced a [[Live Action Adaptation]] of ''Archie'' to be called ''[[Riverdale]]'', currently scheduled to premiere in fall 2015. As described by writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, it will be an updated "current day" version of the characters and their world, with an equal mix of classic elements and new twists, withand just a touch of [[Darker and Edgier]]. Aguirre-Sacasa says, "We're getting to the realness and the complexity of the characters. We're not going to arbitrarily make it dark, but we'll get real with these characters and make it a little bit weird, like ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' or ''[[Blue Velvet]]'', which is one of my favorite movies." At the same time, he adds, "There will absolutely be humor in this. The voice will have a sardonic, ironic edge to it. The characters will be witty and funny, and every story will be a quintessential ''Archie'' story with a twist to it. The humor will always be part of the bread and butter."
