Not too sure how concrete this one is, but FilmRot are carrying that the Director for Toy Story 3 has been chosen. Wooo, I can see the ripple of excitement run through that squeezed bandwidth.
The reason I’m not too sure about it is that it comes from the Blog of an “industry insider”. Excuse my scepticism, but I’ve had so many bad experiences of the “I am a…” on the Internet (and I don’t mean the woman story!). However, if they have it at FilmRot, I’m well inclined to believe it more than most.
The new director of Toy Story 3 is Bradley Raymond. Brad has directed several DTV movies for Disney.
I still think this is just a bad movie waiting to happen. It smells bad from the start, especially when Pixar are seen as the underdog and the good side of this fight, with Disney looking like a corporate that can’t get its own way or a hint of its former glory without someone else’s movie.
