Color us excited! Disney•Pixar’s John Lasseter appeared on the CHARLIE ROSE show Friday and revealed more about director Pete Doctor’s (UP, MONSTER’S INC.) upcoming untitled film set for a May 30, 2014 release.
“Pete Docter, from ‘MONSTER’S INC.’ and ‘UP,’ is doing a new film that takes place inside of a girl’s mind and it is about her emotions as characters, and that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen,” Lasseter told Rose.
We first learned last August at D23 about the project:
Pixar takes audiences on incredible journeys into extraordinary worlds: from the darkest depths of the ocean to the top of the tepui mountains in South America; from the fictional metropolis of Monstropolis to a futuristic fantasy of outer space. From director Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters, Inc.”) and producer Jonas Rivera (“Up”), the inventive new film will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind.
What are your thoughts? Personally, I would have liked to have seen this project go to a female director. However, I have full faith that if anyone is going to take us on a poignant journey, Doctor can do it. He has a teenage daughter who, we’re guessing, may be providing Doctor with a font of inspiration.
