‘The Wild Robot’ Sequel In The Works At DreamWorks With Director Chris Sanders

'The Wild Robot' crossed $100M globally last weekend.

The film is produced by Jeff Hermann (DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby 2: Family Business; co-producer, Kung Fu Panda franchise). In the pic, which is an adaptation of Peter Brown’s award-winning bestseller of the same name, Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o plays a robot called ROZZUM unit 7134 — “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. Discussing the inspiration behind her vocal performance in the pic, Nyong’o joked that she took notes from “AI voices like Alexa and Siri.”
