'Finding Nemo 2' in development with director Andrew Stanton - Polidicks

[url]http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/john-carter-helmer-andrew-stanton-dives-back-into-animation-with-finding-nemo-sequel/[/url] [quote]While Andrew Stanton‘s live-action feature directing debut John Carter led to a precedent-setting $200 million write-down for Disney earlier this summer, the filmmaker is officially out of director jail. I’ve been hearing for months that he would come aboard to direct the sequel to Disney-based Pixar‘s Finding Nemo, with the idea that Disney would give him another shot behind the camera on a live-action film. I’m told he’s now officially come aboard the Finding Nemo sequel and has a concept the studio loves. Pixar continues to not be helpful on this, as they don’t comment on development. It’s understandable why Disney and Pixar would be excited by this. Stanton won two Oscars for his animation work on Wall-E and Finding Nemo. That original 2003′s fish tale’s $867.9 million worldwide gross makes it still Pixar’s second-highest-grossing film and the third-biggest Disney animated film release ever. And that comes before Finding Nemo is re-released in 3D in September. As for Disney coming through with another live-action project, I’m hearing that nothing is firm but that the studio is working on it. It looks like the studio is ready to give Stanton a mulligan on John Carter. Stanton, who has played a big role in many of Pixar’s hits going back to Toy Story, has an opportunity to put a big flop behind him and he’s certainly not the first director to have trouble out of the gate, as David Fincher did with Alien 3. Plenty of others failed the first time out and lived to fight another day and Stanton will get the same opportunity from the studio that has made a fortune off his successes.[/quote]

I don't even remember how the first one ended but I still remember it didn't end like it needed a sequel. No.

So does nemo get lost again or what?

Why? Finding Nemo's story was fine on its own, why do we suddenly need a sequel? You'd think they'd have learned from Cars 2.

A sequel to Finding Nemo seems forced. How do you continue that storyline?

Well this seems like a stretch, to say the least, especially given how well the first film wrapped everything up. Still, they've done it before with Toy Story so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for the time being. We'll see how this and the Monsters Inc. prequel turn out.

I dont mind this, Nemo was a favorite movie of mine a while back.

[QUOTE=chimitos;36814220]So does nemo get lost again or what?[/QUOTE] It seems like it could be either: 1. Nemo get's lost again, dad has to find him again. 2. Nemo grows up, has a kid, has to find him.

FINALLY. I think. that I cant Speak speak for all of us when I say that the long wait is finally over

What if the DAD gets lost, and then nemo FINDS HIM. What a twist that would be.

Why. No sequel is needed.

They never explained what happened to his mum, though. We can assume that the big barracuda thingy killed her, but they don't outright say it, so she may have lived.

Holy shit it's been roughly 8 years since the first one damn it still looks pretty good by today's standards

Nemo has a son and gets lost and now the son has the find the dad.

Toy Story did a similar thing, plot was resolved, but more were made, its just simply a new plot device is created...

One of my friends played Nemo in the Swedish dub of the original I wonder if he'll get this role

[QUOTE=Dead Madman;36814323]Holy shit it's been roughly 8 years since the first one damn it still looks pretty good by today's standards[/QUOTE] What, visually? That's because rendering of that kind has more or less reached its technological pinnacle. The pixar render farm is so huge and complex that adding more machines- which is impossible due to space and cooling- would only speed up the process.

[QUOTE=Murkat;36814222]Why? Finding Nemo's story was fine on its own, why do we suddenly need a sequel? You'd think they'd have learned from Cars 2.[/QUOTE] yeah but this is a sequel to a film that's actually good

[QUOTE=The Mighty Boat;36814284]FINALLY. I think. that I cant Speak speak for all of us when I say that the long wait is finally over[/QUOTE] Wow, people on this site really don't know what sarcasm is with all these disagrees.

Pixar just likes to milk things till it runs dry, really Finding Nemo 2? The first ending was good enough

Pixar are heading down that slippery slope of driving their creations into the ground with countless unneeded sequels. Like Dreamworks.

[QUOTE=FuryBlitz;36814303]What if the DAD gets lost, and then nemo FINDS HIM. What a twist that would be.[/QUOTE] That's some M.Night shit right there :tinfoil:

I will reserve my judgement on this. For now.

[QUOTE=OvB;36814228]A sequel to Finding Nemo seems forced. How do you continue that storyline?[/QUOTE] Maybe its just a name right now. It's about the same characters but with a different plot.

Nemo's dad goes on a 3 day bender and dissappears then Nemo and a hilarious band of misfits must journey across the reef to find him. Money please Disney.

[QUOTE=Kirk Johnson;36814441]yeah but this is a sequel to a film that's actually good[/QUOTE] That's always the [I]worst[/I] sequel to have. A bad sequel risks diminishing the series as a whole.
