A film based on the restaurant chain Hooters is in development, with reports saying the project will focus on the company’s origins. The movies is titled “Hooters: The Movie” and is described as being independently produced by members of Hooters’ original founding partners.
Deadline and ComingSoon.net both report that Emmy-nominated filmmaker Jon Rosenbaum is set to direct the film. ComingSoon.net adds that casting is currently underway, indicating the production is moving beyond early development. While both outlets agree on the key production and creative leadership details, they present slightly different framing, with one emphasizing the project’s development status and the other highlighting its placement as a feature-film adaptation of the chain’s backstory.
Both reports characterize the movie as centered on how the restaurant came to be, rather than a sequel or spin-off from existing film or television material. No distribution plans, release date, or full casting list are provided in the available coverage.
