I’m thinking ‘bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it’s all part of a plan
Toy Story 4 to be directed by John Lasseter
Slated for a June 16, 2017 release, Disney Chairman and CEO Robert Iger announced today that Toy Story 4 is currently under development and is being directed by John Lasseter. The announcement was made during a press call discussing The Walt Disney Company’s fiscal year.
“We love these characters so much; they are like family to us”, said Lasseter. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. Toy Story 3 ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another Toy Story movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.”
Writing team Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (Celeste and Jesse Forever) joined the project, and Pixar veteran Galyn Susman (ABC’s Toy Story OF Terror and Toy Story that Time Forgot) is producing.
