November 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Finding-Dory-poster Pixar have certainly given up on their old maxim not to many make sequels, but so far that’s only been a good thing. It also means we’re going to get to return to the ocean for Finding Dory, which has just released its first poster, with a trailer promised for tomorrow.

Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks reprise the roles of Dory and Marlin, with the plot following Dory after she has a vague memory that she can’t quite work out, but realises that her parents don’t know who she is. As a result she sets off to find the Monterey Marine Life Institute, taking Nemo and Marlin with her.

The movie will arrive in cinemas next summer.

Dominic West And Idris Elba Reteam For Pixar’s Finding Dory

September 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although few kids are fans of The Wire, Pixar has decided it would be a good plan to get two of the stars of that show to reunite for their Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory, according to Shortlist.

Idris Elba and Dominic West have joined the voice cast, alongside returning stars such as Ellen DeGeneres (Dory), Albert Brooks (Marlin) and Gill (Willem Dafoe), as well as newbies Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy as Dory’s parents, and Ty Burrell as a character called Bailey.

Dominic West talked about his role in a recent interview with ShortList, saying “I saw Idris recently. We’re both in the sequel to Finding Nemo, so we were recording that. I’m in pretty regular contact with a lot of guys from The Wire – a lot of them are godparents to my kids, so I love them dearly.”

What he didn’t say though is who they will be playing.

Andrew Stanton is directing, with a June 2016 release date set.

Willem Dafoe Returning as Gill in Finding Dory

October 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We already knew that Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres were returning for Pixar’s Finding Dory, and now another Nemo star has revealed he’s coming back. Willem Dafoe has confirmed that he is once more voicing Gill in the movie.

The actor said in a recent interview, “Yeah I’ve already started. It’s even better than the first. It’s fantastic. It’s good to say I think it’s going to be better than the first; that’s good advertising! It’s difficult to repeat a success and so many years afterwards, but it’s really cool. I’ve done one session so far and I just am going to have such a good time.”

Gill is one of the fish from the dentist’s aquarium who ended up helping Nemo after he was captured.

Brooks and DeGeneres will once more be Marlin and Dory, while Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy have signed up to be Dory’s mother and father, along with Ty Burrell as Bailey. The story revolves around Dory finally reuniting with her family.

Andrew Stanton directs from a screenplay by Victoria Strouse (Little Fockers). It’ll be out summer 2016.

Pixar Announces Finding Dory – Ellen Degeneres Is Getting Lost

April 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a while we’ve known that Pixar has been developing a sequel to Finding Nemo, but it’s not going to be called Finding Nemo, it’s now officially been announced that it will be called Finding Dory. Ellen DeGeneres, the voice of Dory, revealed the news on her chat show.

“I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” said DeGeneres. “I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16.’ But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It’s got a lot of heart, it’s really funny, and the best part is—it’s got a lot more Dory.”

Director and Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton will take audiences back to the underwater world created in the original film. “There is no Dory without Ellen,” said Stanton. “She won the hearts of moviegoers all over the world—not to mention our team here at Pixar. One thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was why she was all alone in the ocean on the day she met Marlin. In ‘Finding Dory,’ she will be reunited with her loved ones, learning a few things about the meaning of family along the way.”

You can understand why Pixar wants to concentrate on Dory, as Finding Nemo has more than 16 million Likes on Facebook, and Dory – with more than 24 million – is the most Liked individual character from a Disney or Disney•Pixar film.

Finding Dory comes to US cinemas on Nov. 25th, 2015, with a UK date still to be set.

Finding Nemo Clip – Reunite with Nemo & Gill to celebrate the 3D release

March 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Finding Nemo hits UK cinemas in 3D for the first time on March 29th, and to celebrate Disney has provided us with a clip to refresh our memories of the exceedingly charming movie. It features Nemo and Gill (Willem Dafoe) discussing methods of escape.

On the 3D version, director Andrew Stanton commented, “Watching the first few scenes from ‘Finding Nemo’ in 3D was like I’d never seen a 3D movie before. It took my breath away. It felt like I was more underwater. It makes the scary moments scarier. It makes the beautiful moments more beautiful. It really drops you deeper into the story. It just amplifies everything.”

With its ocean setting, it’s certainly the sort of movie 3D seems to be made for. Watch the clip below. [Read more…]

Ellen DeGeneres Back For Finding Nemo 2

August 22, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Pixar has certainly changed its tune since the time it was reluctant to make sequels to any of its big hits (other than Toy Story 2). They have several follow-ups in the works, including next year’s Monsters University and the recently revealed Finding Nemo 2.

The movie was announced last month, with Andrew Stanton back on board to direct, and now THR reports that Ellen DeGeneres is in talks to return as Dory. That can only be a good thing, as what would a Finding Nemo sequel be without the forgetful fish? No story details have been leaked so it’s impossible to tell how central to the story Dory might be, although it wouldn’t be shocking if she took centre stage this time around, especially as Pixar want DeGeneres signed up so early in the process.

Victoria Strouse is currently writing the script and a late 2016 release date is expected.

Andrew Stanton Signs Up For Finding Nemo 2

July 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few years ago Pixar was very ambivalent about making sequels to its most popular movies, but following a third Toy Story, a second Cars and the upcoming Monster’s Inc. prequel, they certainly seem to have changed their mind. Now John Carter director Andrew Stanton has signed on to direct Finding Nemo 2. It’s not surprising Pixar would like to make a sequel, as when Finding Nemo was released it became the highest grossing animated movie ever.

It is believed that part of Stanton’s deal is the promise that he will get to direct another live-action feature, despite the box office failure of John Carter. No story details have been released for this animated follow-up, although Stanton has always said he wouldn’t sign up for a sequel unless their found the perfect story, and he now apparently has a concept the studio loves. Newcomer Victoria Strause is writing the screenplay, with Lindsey Collins on board as a producer.

The original Finding Nemo is slated for a 3D re-release September 14, although it isn’t known if this sequel will be released in 3D. (Source: Deadline)
