The filming of Netflix’s upcoming live-action Archies film The Archies, directed by Zoya Akhtar, wrapped its shoot earlier today.
The film is an adaptation of Archie Comics and has the iconic gang — Archie, Betty, Dilton, Ether, Jughead, Reggie and Veronica — at the centre of it. “The film is filled with the youthful energy, hope and excitement synonymous with the swinging 1960s. A musical experience bursting with youth, rebellion, friendships, first loves and everything young adult,” reads a press release from the streaming platform.
Zoya directed the film with a script she wrote with Reema Kagti and Ayesha Devitre. The film has Mihir Ahuja, Dot, Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Yuvraj Menda, Agastya Nanda and Vedang Raina playing pivotal roles.
The Archies is produced by Zoya and Reema under their Tiger Baby Films banner, in collaboration with Sharad Devarajan’s Graphic India and Archie Comics. An official release date for the film is yet to be announced,
