 Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL Quote: Marlin, Dory and Nemo are getting ready for another big screen adventure as Deadline reports that the original Finding Nemo's writer and director, Andrew Stanton, is set to return for a sequel based on his own original concept.
Stanton, who earlier this year directed Disney's John Carter, has up until very recently, been quite reluctant to return to the underwater world of his 2003 film.
"[A sequel has] always kind of put a bad taste in my mouth," Stanton told ComingSoon.net earlier this year, "because I never planned for that... We have said this at Pixar now. We've kind of come to terms with it. We're not against a sequel being made as long as it's a story we love so much that we'd be dying just to make it, so we're just waiting for stories to tell us if it's worthy of doing. Right now, I've never been able to think of anything beyond what 'Nemo' was on its own."
Whatever the idea is that changed his mind, the Nemo sequel will follow in the footsteps of Pixar sequels like Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Cars 2 and the upcoming prequel Monsters University. The studio's original slate, meanwhile, is targeting Bob Peterson's The Good Dinosaur for May 30, 2014 and Pete Docter's still-untitled project for June 19, 2015. Lee Unkrich is also working on a Dia de los Muertos-themed film for an unspecified future date as well.
The original Finding Nemo is also set for a return to theaters in 3D on September 14th of this year.
UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter is now bringing word that newcomer Victoria Strouse is writing the screenplay with Lyndsey Collins producing for a potential 2016 release.

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL I'm still in shock and a bit disappointed, however, I trust in Stanton, so this could turn out to be in a good film and beat all records
Shrek 2 get ready to be destroyed

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL This isn't surprising considering Finding Nemo 3D is being released in 2 months. Also, he still owes Disney $200 m for John Carter. This is one way he's making it up.

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL With 3D/inflation this could be a contender for $200m+ in Japan alone.

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL The only Pixar film that really deserves a sequel is the one they seem to want to leave alone.

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL Magic Mike wrote: jmovies wrote: They choose another one of their worst to do a sequel to . I've been thinking about the idea and I believe that if FN2 is done right, the film itself could be huge, remember the first film is the best seller DVD of all time, such a record

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL Everyone loves Finding Nemo. Well, not jmovies, but most people do . Of course the sequel would be huge. At LEAST 400 Million. The first did 340 Million unadjusted.

However, that doesn't equate to me wanting Pixar to divert their talent from original material to cash in on endless sequels. (BTW, Ellen Degeneres was great in Finding Nemo, as she is in almost everything she does - - she is the epitome of charm!)

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL Seriously, are they refusing to make an Incredibles sequel on principle?

It's true that The Incredibles is the one Pixar title that most naturally lends itself to a sequel. Perhaps Brad Bird also doesn't believe in sequels ( MI:IV notwithstanding ).

Re: Prepare Yourselves: FINDING NEMO 2 is OFFICIAL I love FN.
I'm happy to see these characters continue. I hope it's a good story, but the first was so good because of Albert Brooks and Degeneres.

Come on Bradley, very deep in your soul you know you could probably finish loving the film, after all it's not other one than Stanton who will be directing it,,,,,,,,,,,, at least that fact keeps me with a little bit of faith And yes, Nemo is loved by young and old audiences

It's true that The Incredibles is the one Pixar title that most naturally lends itself to a sequel. Perhaps Brad Bird also doesn't believe in sequels ( MI:IV notwithstanding ). From Wikipedia: Quote: When Disney acquired Pixar in 2006, the expectation of Disney was that Pixar would create more sequels and bankable franchises. Director Brad Bird stated in 2007 that he was open to the idea of an Incredibles 2 if he could come up with an idea superior to the original film. "I have pieces that I think are good, but I don't have them all together," Bird said. Sounds promising. You simply don't makes sequels to Cars, MI, and FN and not Incredibles.
