Striking that hot iron
Rovio Entertainment has announced thatThe Angry Birds Movie 2will be launching onto the silver screen in Fall 2019.
Production for the sequel is currently underway, aiming to be out for Jul 01, 2025. While details are scant, the staff responsible for creating the sequel has been changed up. Thurop Van Orman, known for his work onThe Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjackand other modern Cartoon Network classics, will be brought on as director. He’ll be co-directing alongside John Rice, who has contributed to shows likeThe SimpsonsandRick and Morty. They’ll be taking over from Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly, who directed the first movie.
Given the original movie had a budget of just $73 million and made a total of $349 million at the box office, it’s no surprise that a sequel was greenlit. If you’re curious how the original was, our own Nick Valdez had the joy of reviewing it over at Flixist, which you can findhere. To give a rough summary, it was just better than what you’d expect out of a movie based on a video game, but was decent at its best.
