LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Counterculture icon Emily the Strange, a symbol of female empowerment and anti-conformity, is headed to the big screen with her four mysterious cats.
Dark Horse Comics, which has published several comic books detailing the goth teen's exploits, will produce a feature film that will detail her origins.
Skateboarder Rob Reger created the character among a multitude of designs he was printing up for stickers, T-shirts and skateboards in Santa Cruz, Calif,, in the early 1990s. The Emily design took off, with Reger's company, Cosmic Debris, going on to become a multimillion-dollar business with toeholds in fashion, books and comics, toys, school supplies, and accessories. Reger has remained the creative director behind the character and is one of several artists who work on "Emily."
