'Finding Nemo 2': Andrew Stanton To Direct Again, Plus 'Toy Story 4' Rumoured For Development

Is Nemo Swimming Back Onto Our Screens?

Andrew Stanton, who recently directed Disney's flop John Carter, is set to direct a sequel to Finding Nemo, according to reports.

John Carter, starring Taylor Kitsch, was one of the biggest financial failures in films history, and forced the studio to take a $200 million write-down.

However, Stanton was behind the original Finding Nemo and helped make it Pixar's second-highest-grossing film ever behind Toy Story 3, so it's understandable he's been given a second shot.

Deadline.com reports he’s now officially come aboard the Finding Nemo sequel, after he'd openly said he'd love to if the story was right, and has a concept the studio loves.

Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks provided voice work in the original, but whether they return for part two is as yet unknown.

Finding Nemo 2 would follow the Toy Story sequels, Cars 2 and the upcoming prequel to Monsters Inc. on the Pixar slate. However, Pixar itself has not confirmed the film is in the works.

Rumours are also circulating that Toy Story 4 has been given the go-ahead, but other than Tom Hanks saying a fourth film was being worked on back in 2011 this is all still speculation.
