It’s been a few years since we’ve seen anything from Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski. His last film was 2016’s A Cure for Wellness, and he was at one point attached to Fox’s cursed Gambit movie. Now a new story from Discussing Film says Verbinski is back with an untitled animated film for Netflix.
There aren’t any details other than it’ll be CG-animated, with Verbinski directing and producing based on his own original story. No word on if he’s involved with the scripting part of it, though.
Verbinski is the director known for gigantic, bloated budgets on three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and 2013’s dud The Lone Ranger. That said, his last time doing animated was really great. That would be 2011’s Rango, featuring Johnny Depp as the voice of a pet chameleon who is also a cowboy hero. If this is anything like that, it’ll be worth keeping track of. I really need this to be a Rango sequel. Hey Netflix, can it be that, please?
