The live-action movie was written by Mark McCorkle, Robert Schooley and Josh Cagan ("The DUFF," "Bandslam"). The executive producers are McCorkle, Schooley and Zanne Devine ("I, Tonya" and "Easy A"). The movie will be co-directed and co-produced by Adam B. Stein and Zach Lipovsky (both of Disney XD's "MECH-X4"). Blyth Nailling (ABC's "Last Man Standing" and "Scrubs") is the casting director.
