Love Emojis? Who doesnt? Now, next question - would you want to watch an entire film about them? Because that's what's happening, according to Deadline.
Sony Pictures Animation won the rights to produce an animated film about the social media icons after a big bidding war between three studios. Anthony Leondis,who was behind Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters, is directing the project.*
Not much more info has been released about the film at this stage, *so we're left guessing what an emoji film would ACTUALLY be about. Wil**l a new crop of emojis, like the taco or unicorn, take on the old favourites, like the sassy girl or the poop icon? Who knows, but it proves that emoji mania is showing no signs of going away.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on the THIRTY EIGHT new emojis coming to phones next year.
