The long-awaited director chair riddle for the Rick and Morty: The Movie project, one of the most popular productions in the adult animation world, has finally begun to become clear. According to leaks from reliable sources in the industry, a familiar name has been approached to direct the cinema adaptation of Adult Swim’s crazy science fiction series, which has become a worldwide phenomenon. Jacob Hair, who grew up in the kitchen of the series and has made many iconic episodes so far, continues his negotiations to direct this big-budget movie.
With the project becoming official, it has become clear that interdimensional journeys will be brought to movie theaters or digital platforms, this time with a much larger production. An Experienced Name in the Director’s Chair: Who is Jacob Hair? Jacob Hair, who is planned to take the helm of the project, is not a stranger to the Rick and Morty universe. The successful director joined the team in the fourth season of the animated series and has played a major role in shaping the visual language of the series by directing a total of 26 episodes since then.
Hair was not limited to just this production in the television world; He has previously undertaken important roles in globally successful projects such as Family Guy and Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe. Fans of the series see Jacob Hair being at the helm of the project as a guarantee that the chaotic and absurd spirit of the series will be preserved on the big screen as well. What is the situation in the scenario and production team?
While the creative team behind the film is slowly taking shape, it is not yet clear who will write the script of the project. According to initial information, there is no officially attached screenwriter at this stage. However, the current executive producer (showrunner) of the series, Scott Marder, joined the project to produce the film. Another claim circulating in Hollywood backstage is about the film’s release strategy.
Warner Bros. It remains a mystery for now whether the project developed under its umbrella will have a wide release chance in cinemas or will meet the audience directly on digital broadcast platforms. A Completely Independent Story Is Coming This isn’t actually the first time the idea for a feature film has emerged. Justin Roiland, one of the creators of the series, expressed his desire to make a potential movie hovering around the 18 (R-rated) border in 2019.
Fellow co-creator Dan Harmon has also worked with Warner Bros. in the past. It is known that he held serious meetings with his managers regarding this possibility. One of the most striking features of the film is that it will be completely independent of the continuity of the main series. Thanks to this strategic decision, old viewers who have not been able to follow the series regularly for years or new fans who will step into the universe for the first time will be able to enjoy the movie directly without having to consume hundreds of episodes of the past.
Excitement for the Ninth Season is at the Doorstep While the developments regarding the big screen project excite the fans, the activity on the television front continues at full speed. The highly anticipated 9th season of Rick and Morty will begin to meet the audience on Hulu and HBO Max platforms with weekly episodes starting from June 15. Before Rick and Morty: The Movie is released, the crazy duo’s new adventures in the multiverse will continue where they left off with the new season of the series.
