821 Entertainment has confirmed plans to produce a Roy Rogers film trilogy, reports Variety.

The Nashville company has teamed up with Roy Rogers Family Entertainment Corp for a deal which will also include an animated TV series, merchandise and interactive games.

According to CEO Eric Geadelmann, the big screen King Of Cowboys project will be a "family fantasy adventure" rather than a biopic or traditional Western.

"Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and Trigger are quintessential figures of America, and we will introduce this franchise to a new audience while capitalising on the millions of Roy Rogers fans worldwide," said Geadelmann.

Actor Rogers passed away in 1998 at the age of 86. He starred in 88 films between 1938-51, as well as 100 episodes of his own TV show.
