I know I’ve always got a friend in Randy Newman, but Woody and his pals won’t be back on our screens until 2010, so what’s filling the gap between this year’s Ratatouille and such a far-off prospect? Well, Pixar have recently announced it and it’s called Up. Due for a 2009 release, Up - according to Empire - supposedly involves a 70 year old man and a wilderness ranger who team up to fight “beasts and villains”, erm…great. The script is being penned by Bob Peterson (the guy behind Finding Nemo) and the project is set to be directed by Pete Docter (the guy who directed 2001’s excellent Monsters Inc.). Pixar usually does it well, so here’s to another badass CGI feature!
