Aardman and StudioCanal have today announce Shaun the
Sheep Movie 2 from director Richard Starzak ("Shaun the Sheep Movie,"
and "Creature Comforts") and producer Paul Kewley ("Shaun the
Sheep Movie," and "The Farmer’s Llamas"). Pre-production
will commence January 2017.
"The world’s favorite sheep returns to the big
screen in Shaun the Sheep Movie 2, the sequel to his hugely successful and
highly acclaimed Oscar nominated 2015 cinematic debut. Shaun and the Flock are
back for another epic and hilarious journey, in what will be their biggest and
most exciting adventure yet.
David Sproxton Co-founder and Executive Chairman at
Aardman said: "Shaun’s move to the big screen proved such a success with
audiences around the world that he and the flock are very excited to be
embarking on another big screen adventure. Aardman is partnering
with StudioCanal once again to produce another rip-roaring comedy,
featuring Shaun and the rest of the gang in a story that takes them to even
greater heights of lunacy."
Ron Halpern, EVP of International Productions and
Acquisitions for StudioCanal adds: "All of us here at StudioCanal are
Aardman fans. To get to see the wonderful way they work in Bristol as
they have for 40 years now through to the first ‘Shaun the Sheep Movie’ was an
experience we will always cherish. Luckily we get to start again with
what will definitely be another film showcasing Aardman’s unique humor,
creativity and craftsmanship."
Shaun the Sheep Movie 2 continues the production
partnership with Aardman and StudioCanal following the success of ‘Shaun the
Sheep Movie’ directed by Mark Burton and Richard Starzak, which grossed $106
million worldwide and Nick Park’s highly anticipated new prehistoric comedy
adventure, ‘Early Man’, currently in production. StudioCanal is co-financing
and will distribute in its own territories, the UK, France, Germany, Australia
and New Zealand, selling worldwide at AFM."
