This will mark a return to New Line for Vinson, who produced the Journey to the Center of the Earth films and San Andreas for the studio.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line Cinema has grabbed up the film rights to the big-screen take on the hugely-popular mobile app, which Australia’s Halfbrick Studios is looking to adapt as a live-action family comedy.
The story is said to involve a team of misfits recruited to become Fruit Ninjas so they can — naturally — save the world.
