Why Hasn’t There Been An ‘Incredibles’ Sequel?
Ever since The Incredibles hit theatres, many fans have been clamoring for a sequel. It is an interesting situation, as many people have also said that they would rather Pixar work on original films. The studio answered that call this year when they announced a slate of brand new films, one taking place in a world where dinosaurs are still roaming around and the other that takes viewers inside the human mind. However, The Incredibles seems to be the one main exception to the “no sequel” call from movie buffs. The film’s director, Brad Bird, was asked by Movies.com (via First Showing), why we have yet to see a sequel to his big hit. His answer? Oh yeah – we already knew the answer. [Read more…]

After directing the critically-acclaimed animated film, The Iron Giant, he arrived at Pixar and went on to direct The Incredibles and Ratatouille, two films that proved the director was no ordinary filmmaker. However, in the past few years it was announced that he was set to take on a live-action film for the first time, specifically Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
