Bob Iger announced today that Disney/Pixar will be making a sequel to their 2004 hit The Incredibles and Brad Bird, who directed the original, is writing the script.
I'm psyched. The Incredibles, to me, was a perfect superhero movie full of intrigue and fun, but, unlike a lot of the superhero flicks out there today, didn't take itself too seriously. An homage to the golden and silver age of comic books, the original weaved Bond-esque gadgetry and style with the heart you would expect from a Disney/Pixar film to create a highly entertaining film.
The original also left the door wide open for sequels. Now that Brad Bird sees some light at the end of the Tomorrowland tunnel, hopefully he can begin focusing on the Incredibles again and produce another classic.
Iger also announced Cars 3 (ho hum) and said that he can't say anything about the new Star Wars.
