Cyber Group Studios has sealed a deal with Scholastic to adapt\u00a0Press Start!<\/i>, Thomas Flintham\u2019s\u00a0internationally-acclaimed book series.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Per the deal, Cyber Group will adapt the Press Start!<\/em> books into an animated TV series of 52×11-minute episodes. The books follow Sunny, an 8-year-old boy who lives in the real world but has the ability to participate in the adventures of his hero in the video game world, Super Rabbit Boy, as they save the inhabitants from King Viking and other villains.<\/p>\n

Cyber Group Studios will develop and collaborate on the new animated series with Emmy Award winner Scott Kraft, executive producer on the show who will adapt the books head writer and story editor.<\/p>\n

Richard Goldsmith, CEO of Cyber Group Studios USA, said: \u201cPress Start!<\/em> has inspired many young kids to love reading books with its captivating storytelling and art. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a great team that we have hand-picked to bring this popular book series to screens around the world,\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas Flintham, author and illustrator at Press Start!<\/em>, commented: “Since I was a kid, I\u2019ve been a big fan of books, video games and animation, and I\u2019m so excited that Press Start!<\/em> is going to expand to cover three of my biggest passions. To see my work being turned into an animation is a childhood dream come true, and Super Rabbit Boy couldn\u2019t be in safer hands than the super talented folks at Cyber Group Studios.”<\/p>\n

Kraft added: \u201cThomas Flintham\u2019s engaging characters and clever, fantastical Press Start!<\/em> game-world are the perfect launching pad for an endless series of adventures. Super-excited to work with Cyber Group\u2019s incredible artists to build an epic immersive video-game world for Sunny and friends to play in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
