0:00I'm Cory, and this is your Entertainment Pulse. Entertainment and celebrity news today. Fans of the 2024 hit, The Wild Robot have big news. Dreamwirt's animation and universal pictures are making a sequel to the movie, which was based on Peter Brown's popular novel. It starred voices like Lupita Nyungo as the main robot character, and Chris Sanders handled writing and directing duties. The new film takes its name from the second book, The Wild Robot Escapes. Sanders is sticking around to write the screenplay, but he's passing the directing reigns to someone new. Troy Quayne steps in as director, with Heidi Joe Gilbert joining as co-director. Quayne has a solid track record, including co-directing spies and disguise in 2019, and the Mona in 2023. He's also worked on classics like Beauty and the Beast, the enchanted Christmas back in 1997. The story picks up with the robot heading back to the human world after island adventures, trying to reunite with her gozzling friend, Bride Bill.
