NEWS: Brad Bird Talks "The Incredibles 2" Script

by Ken Miyamoto on September 14, 2015

Brad Bird recently confirmed that he's at work on The Incredibles 2 script. The original 2004 Pixar film is still considered to be one of their best.  

"I have the story arc. I'm probably three-quarters through the script, first pass through the script, but we're already [story] boarding parts of it. I've got a lot of people that worked on the first one working on it, so we're all having a good time with it."

He then commented on the possible story for the sequel. 

"What's changed is there were only two other superhero franchises at the time Incredibles came out. One of them was X-Men and the other was Spider-Man, and now there are 400 billion of them and there's a new superhero movie every two weeks. What you don't want to do is trot over the same turf in the same way everyone else is. So we're trying to keep it focused in the area that our film was, which was a little bit more about characters and relationships and stuff like that, and see where that takes us. But we're having a good time."

Since the film is still in its early stages, no release date has been confirmed. 

"We were originally — Incredibles was supposed to happen after Cars, and our wheels just happened to click a little earlier so they moved us up. Release dates are a little fluid when you're making films so far in advance. Some films are tougher to come together and tough nuts to crack, and other ones comes together a little more quickly, and so I'm just going to work as fast as I can work well with a relatively small team because I like small teams better until you've got everything firmly figured out."

Meanwhile, Brad Bird is enjoying the success of his live action Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
