Hello Kitty真人电影导演已选定,这次也会是毁童年系列吗?
新线影业正在商定《Hello Kitty》的开拍日期。该公司在2019年就取得了基于Hello Kitty形象的电影拍摄权,并决定由詹妮弗·科伊尔(Jennifer Coyle)和李奥·松田(Leo Matsuda)执导,这将会是一部动画形象和真人混合的电影。 Plot details surrounding the trendsetting Japanese pop icon are under wraps, but the intention is for it to be catnip for the global consumer audience. Coyle and Matsuda bring years of animation experience to the project and have worked on numerous animated films and TV shows, but this is their first collaboration as they beat out many other directors for the job. Most recently serving as supervising producer on HBO’s adult animated series Harley Quinn, Coyle is also known for her work as a director and showrunner for the DC Super Hero Girls franchise and as a director across six seasons of Bob’s Burgers (earning Primetime Emmy and Annie Award nominations) and The Spectacular Spider-Man. A talented Disney animation artist, Matsuda’s name came to the fore when he conceived and directed the thought-provoking short film Inner Workings. Matsuda’s credits include DreamWorks’ Abominable, Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet, Zootopia, Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It Ralph, and The Simpsons Movie. Coyle said “this is not only a rare chance to bring a beloved character to life, but also to spread the message of love, friendship and inclusivity that Hello Kitty stands for. The world so needs her brand of joy and happiness.” “Growing up in Brazil with a Japanese family, I was surrounded by the whimsy of Hello Kitty and it served as a reminder that it's okay to be different. Along with Jen, FlynnPictureCo. and New Line, I am delighted by this incredible opportunity to work with one of the most universally beloved characters and expand their relatable Sanrio stories even further.”Matsuda said. |
