It’s not on daily basis that two of probably the most well-known administrators in animation historical past bounce into the world of comedian books, however that’s about to occur. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker, who made movies you could have heard of like Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Moana, need to make an animated film primarily based on the DC sequence Metal Men.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the information and add the pair has teamed up with author Celeste Ballard (Space Jam: A New Legacy) on the venture. Clements and Musker wrote a remedy and need to direct however there’s no phrase if this may be Warner Bros. theatrical or for HBO Max.

Now, clearly, Metal Men isn’t certainly one of DC’s premiere titles however the idea definitely has some actual potential and has been introduced again to life over time. Created within the early Nineteen Sixties by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru, the story adopted a superb scientist who created six clever robots (who, regardless of the title, had been not all males) bestowed with powers centered on the precise steel they had been product of: gprevious, iron, lead, tin, mercury, and platinum. Tones shifted with the characters and there’s no phrase on what Clements, Musker, and Ballard have deliberate, however one would think about, in the event you take a look at the director’s earlier works, a family-pleasant journey with coronary heart and humor appears doubtless.

According to the commerce, this isn’t the primary time Warner Bros. has tried to carry Metal Men to the massive display. A reside motion model was in growth within the early 2000s with big-time names similar to Lauren Shuler Donner (X-Men), DC mainstay Geoff Johns, and even Barry Sonnenfeld (Men In Black). That didn’t materialize (get it?) although, and with Warner Bros. actually going via its DC properties to unfold throughout all its mediums, this seems like a model that has a very good shot of solidifying. Yup, one other steel pun.
