Zac Power Lands Screen Adaptation

The Zac Power book series is being adapted as an animated feature film by Flying Bark Productions and Cheeky Little Media, in association with Pixel Zoo Animation Studios.

With major production investment from Screen Australia in association with the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF), the adaptation will feature the voices of Parker Little, Matt Lucas and Kylie Cantrall. It will be distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Paramount Pictures, with Studio 100 managing international sales.

“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Flying Bark and Cheeky Little on this exciting new project,” said Brian Pritchett, VP and managing director of Paramount Pictures Australia. “Zac Power is a beloved character across Australia and New Zealand, and his enduring popularity was a key reason this opportunity immediately captured our interest. Beyond its well-established fan base, the film’s cutting-edge animation and cinematic storytelling make it truly stand out. We’re confident Zac Power has all the ingredients to become a successful theatrical event for family audiences.”

Little, who is stepping into his first animated role as the lead character, commented, “Zac Power has been in my life for as long as I can remember. My friends and I could never get enough of his adventures as we navigated junior school. I couldn’t be more excited to bring this character to life for a new generation and hopefully inspire more kids to pick up the books.”

The cast also features Leah Purcell (The Legend of Molly Johnson, Wentworth, High Country), David Wenham (Peter Rabbit, Moulin Rouge!, Lord of the Rings), Tanya Hennessy and Ed Oxenbould (Wildlife, Combat Wombat, Puberty Blues).

Zac Power follows a teenage spy who strives to maintain his position as the top spy at GIB after the arrival of a new rival agent.
