Andrew Stanton deve dirigir sequência de "Finding Nemo"

[[F*U*S*A*|KåMµ§]]

Andrew Stanton is heading back to animation, signing on to direct a sequel to Pixar’s Finding Nemo, the 2003 modern classic he co-directed.

Victoria Strouse, who wrote the 2008 Black list script The Apostles of Infinite Love, is writing the script and Lindsey Collins is producing. A 2016 release date is being eyed.

The move could be perceived as a return to a safer ground after the disastrous results of John Carter, Stanton's big live-action debut. The movie’s performance forced Disney to take a $200 million write-down. And while the filmmaker may still harbor live-action dreams, Nemo 2 will effectively take up all most of his time for the next four years or so.

The move is also a safe one by Pixar, the company that once was praised for cranking out original film after original film, but now seems to trying to balance commercial prospects with unique creations.

The Toy Story sequels were considered exceptions to the rules but Cars 2 was seen as a pure commercial play, even by Pixar’s own animators, who weren’t happy to work on it.

The company is in the midst of a sequel to Monsters Inc. and a sequel to Nemo -- which won the Oscar for best animated picture, garnered several others, and really elevated the company and the animation genre -- is sure to be greeted by some scorn and skepticism by Pixar and animation fans.

Nemo is considered one of the jewels in the treasure chest and will only raise questions whether sequels to Wall-E (directed by Stanton) and Up are far behind.

Pixar is hard at work on three new original projects which will hit screens in the coming years: The Good Dinosaur (directed by Bob Peterson and slated for May 30, 2014; untitled inside the mind project (from Up's Pete Doctor, with a June 19, 2015 release); and an untitled movie about Dia de los muertos (directed by Nemo co-director Lee Unkrich).

Depois da sequência de Monstros SA, parece que Nemo também vai ganhar uma sequência.
A princípio nesse eu diria que seria dispensável. Mas fico imaginando a grandeza das locações aquáticas bem feitas em 3D. Mantendo o mesmo diretor que montava planos lindos, se ele souber usar bem o 3D pode ficar maravilhoso.
Vai ser lançado este ano o Nemo original em 3D. Como nesse caso é animação, não tem a questão de ser gravado com câmeras 3D e coisas afim, se eles já fizerem um trabalho grandioso, aí eu diria que a sequencia é dispensável.
Relançarem Wall-E em 3D, que é outro com cenários grandiosos também, seria ducaralho.

Pelo visto levaram a sério aquilo de "continue a nadar, continue a nadar!"
Brincadeiras à parte eu gosto muito do primeiro, e vou assistir essa continuação quando for lançada.

O problema são filmes como esse da Mérida que está estreando agora, que segue a cartilha Disney de fábulas moralizantes. Some isso à proliferação de sequências potencialmente desnecessárias e fica o medo que a Pixar esteja se corrompendo ao que antes destruiu a Disney. Seria uma perda gigantesca para a animação de qualidade se isso se concretizasse.
