News

This week's news is all about the movies as a successful animation director is looking to live-action, The Muppets are getting some new life and is Pixar really holding people back? -  Sir Clinksalot

Brad Bird's '1906'
Brad Bird (Director of The Incredibles, Ratatouille and the lesser known, but just as great Iron Giant) is making the leap to live-action. The Director will be helming the feature 1906 (about the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake) in a collaborative effort with Warner Bros. and Disney/Pixar. This will be the first time Brad Bird has directed live-action since an episode of Amazing Stories in 1987.

Disney sets new 'Muppets' movie team
Disney has enlisted two writers to begin working on the next Muppets movie. And the world rejoiced. Jason Segal and Nick Stroller are not who you would expect to see scribing the next Muppets movie. They have collectively worked on previous films such as Knocked Up, Fun with Dick and Jane and the upcoming Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Will this change in the guard bring new life to the Muppets? Let's hope so.

Is Pixar Surpressing New Talent?
It's very hard to knock Pixar and the success they have had both financially and critically. But a recent article from the LA Times takes a look at some former Pixar alumni who were not given the chance to direct and went on to direct for other studios, with varying levels of success. Maybe Pixar saw something missing in these directors. I mean, who REALLY is clamoring for the director of Open Season to direct the next Pixar film?
