Following the immense popularity of Pokemon GO, The Pokemon Company have given the go-ahead to fast-track the upcoming “Detective Pickachu” movie.
Production will now officially begin in 2017, with an expected release some time in 2018 or early 2019, reports Geek.com
For those who don’t know, Detective Pikachu is an odd Pokémon that has the ability to speak. He isn’t as powerful as others of his kind, but he is smarter than them.
He uses his brains to solve crimes with a human friend named Tim Goodman.
As a heads up, there is currently an ongoing petition to have Danny DeVito to play the titular Pikachu in the English-version of the film with over 50,000 supporters.
