Teddy Newton, Derek Connolly Behind New Pixar Film
Teddy Newton, a well known story artist at Pixar, and director of the well-received short Day & Night is rumored to be on the marquee as director for an upcoming, and as-yet-unknown Pixar feature film.
The young screenwriter, Derek Connolly, who has but two projects to his name (according to IMDB), is said to have let the cat out of the bag in an interview with Variety. He is rumored to be writing the script.
There has been no official word from Pixar on any upcoming films beyond Lee Unkrich's Untitled Dia de los Muertos Film, which is currently scheduled for release in the fall of 2015. Rumors were also swimming around an Andrew-Stanton-directed Finding Nemo Sequel. If these are the next two films to follow the announced lineup, then we could see the release of both films in 2016.
