The primary a part of Depraved has been a giant hit on the field workplace, and after half two releases this 12 months, director Jon M. Chu might be diving into your childhood.
Once you direct a movie that finally ends up as profitable as Depraved – which has taken dwelling a formidable $717 million on the field workplace on a $150 million finances – you possibly can in all probability find yourself taking any challenge you need! Maybe Chu could be all in favour of adapting one other massive musical, and even simply have his hand at The Wizard of Oz? Nope! As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Chu’s subsequent movie is about to be an animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Locations You may Go!, which on this model will apparently comply with a “younger adventurer navigating the ups and downs of life.” Chu will not be helming the challenge on his personal, although, as Jill Culton (Open Season, Monsters, Inc.) might be serving as co-director alongside him.
Penning the screenplay is Rob Lieber, greatest referred to as the author of 2018’s Peter Rabbit and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, and likewise of the upcoming Karate Child: Legends. It looks like Oh, The Locations You may Go! may also be a musical, as EGOT winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are composing unique songs for it – they’re greatest identified for writing the music and lyrics for Expensive Evan Hansen, in addition to Disney’s 2019 model of Aladdin and the upcoming Snow White remake.
Oh, The Locations You may Go! is not clearly as nicely referred to as titles like The Cat within the Hat or Horton Hears a Who!, however it’s nonetheless the same old type of factor you possibly can anticipate from the creator (it was additionally the final guide he ever launched earlier than his loss of life in 1991). Do not anticipate it for fairly some time although, because it at present has a launch 12 months of 2028 – I am positive Depraved half two will hold you a lot occupied.
