Finding Nemo 2 is Coming!
Once you calm down from the title let me give you the details. According to Deadline Director Andrew Stanton will be climbing on board the sequel train with Finding Nemo 2. Disney must like the sale pitch because they have green lit the project, but in Pixar fashion there are absolutely no details on the film other than a 2016 release date.
I wish I had more details but that is all that is out there.
Don’t forget Finding Nemo is set for a big-screen re-release in 3D September 14.

Patty Jenkins Drops Out of Directing ‘Thor 2′; Director Search Is On
‘Thor 2′ has just hit a bump in the road on it’s way to the screen. Patty Jenkins was set to helm Marvel’s follow up to this years blockbuster, has just stepped down as director of the project. Deadline was the first to break the news, citing creative differences between her and Marvel Studios. But there is no bad blood between the two, as Deadline is quick to point out that Patty Jenkins may be directing another one of Marvel’s films, it just won’t be ‘Thor 2′. So the search is on for a new director, and with the movie just a little less than two years away from it’s release date of November 15, 2013, it’s safe to say Marvel will be hiring someone fairly quickly. Thor will return soon though, in next year’s highly anticipated Marvel crossover film, ‘The Avengers’. Is there anyone you’d like to see direct the ‘Thor’ sequel? Let me know in the comments below!
