New trailer for Ray Gunn, the animated Netflix film by Brad Bird
An exciting sci-fi noir film, boosted by a retro aesthetic.
This will be one of the most anticipated films on Netflix for the end of the year.
Brad Bird returns to animation. The director of Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol (2011) and In pursuit of tomorrow (2015) had already signed The Iron Giant, The Incredibles And Ratatouille. This time, he tries a new genre with Ray Gunn.
“In Metropia, a sprawling city in an alternate future seen from the year 1939, private detective Raymond Gunn is drawn into a case involving aliens, murderers and a media star named Venus Nova…” details the synopsis.
As revealed in the new trailer posted online by Netflix, it will be a mix of film noir, science fiction and a retro aesthetic, in a futuristic megalopolis imagined as if the year 1939 had never ended…
In the vocal cast we will hear in original version Sam Rockwell, opposite Scarlett Johansson, and Tom Waits, Bobby Cannavale, Alan Tudyk, Matt Berry and Michelle Rodriguez.
The director recently told us, at the Annecy festival, that he wanted to move away from franchises a bit and believes that the studios “should consider original films as research and development. You can’t just have twenty ideas, and that’s it. There must be room for something else. Studios should start taking big risks again and betting on new ideas, because that’s how the franchises of tomorrow are born.”
Ray Gunn will be available on Netflix on December 18.
