‘John Carter’ Director Andrew Stanton To Direct ‘Finding Nemo’ Sequel

Andrew Stanton’s first live-action movie John Carter may have been a gigantic flop for Disney but that doesn’t seem to be stopping Stanton from getting work. Deadline is reporting that Stanton has officially come on-board as the director for the sequel to Finding Nemo. Pixar won’t confirm this of course but his working on the sequel makes complete sense. He did after all win not one but two Oscars for Pixar with Finding Nemo and Wall-E.

The sequel is in development so no other details are known at this time but supposedly Disney is also open to the giving him another crack at directing a live-action movie. Sure, John Carter was a $200 million dollar loss for the studio but that’s not Andrew Stanton’s fault. I thought it was a great movie but was just marketed wrong. I look forward to seeing more from him.
