Things We Saw Today: There’s Going to Be A Sequel to Finding Nemo

by Alanna Bennett | 5:00 pm, July 18th, 2012


A Monster’s Inc prequel, the possibility of a Hocus Pocus sequel; we’ve already been struck by how hard the film industry has been working recently to hit twenty-s0methings in the nostalgia spot. Now we’re even more convinced. Why? Because they’re making a sequel to the 2003 Pixar sea-romp Finding Nemo. Director Andrew Stanton has already signed on.

But considering Nemo was *SPOILER ALERT* found at the end of the first film, we’re wondering how they’re gonna play this one. Is he gonna “find” himself emotionally as a teenager fish? Finding Emo? (via MTV)

  • The Frisky has a great list of 10 things you should know about the allegedly newly-cast Finnick, Sam Claflin.
  • It has apparently been confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will NOT be playing Gary Mitchell as Karl Urban trolled spoiled a few weeks back. This comes from Star Trek 2 co-writer/co-producer Roberto Orci. (via Slash Film)
  • The latest issue of The Gathering was created completely by women. More info here.
  • This Joker cake looks terrifying and maybe a little morbid, but also impressive and kind of delicious. (That’s Nerdalicious)

  • Someone is putting on a stage play in London based on the anime film Princess Mononoke. YES. (Anime News Network)
  • One dad sat his young daughter down and asked her to do what so many have been warned against: Judge books by their covers. We advice against it in life in general, but her interpretations of the plots of classic novels based purely on their cover art (or lack thereof) is kind of the best:

    how far into the nostalgia realm can a 9 year old film be?  I really liked Finding Nemo, but it felt very standalone and not really lending itself to a franchise concept

    some of that kids book interpretations were fascinating.  also i could see hollywood producers jotting notes as she talked

    Seconded!

    Brad Bird said in an interview it’s firmly on his mind, and he refuses to start until it feels absolutely right, so there’s hope!

    A Princess Mononoke play sounds interesting. Now, if they would only release the movie on Blu-ray!

    As someone else on the internet said, “What if, and stick with me here, the Finding Nemo sequel is about Dory forgetting they found him in the first place.”

    I have always wondered if they were going to discover in a sequel that there was some way that Nemo’s mother was actually still alive, or one of the siblings…
