According to foreign media reports, the director of the "Wizard Hostel" series, Gerndi Tatakovsky, will work with King Features, the copyright owner of the movie "Popeye The Sailor", to start from the "drawing board" and pick up many years ago. Stopped working.

Popeye The Sailor

This news is undoubtedly exciting. Because Grendi had spent many years running the movie Popeye The Sailor for Sony Animation, but in the end the project was aborted in 2015. When Grendi left Popeye The Sailor 5 years ago, he had a disagreement with Sony Animation. Sony wanted to shape the brand recognition of Popeye The Sailor , and Grendi did not want to make too many changes to the story and the character Popeye. In his view, once there are too many changes to the characters, then the traditional "vigorous sailor" will no longer exist.

Sony has been developing the CG version of Popeye since 2010. After Grendi left, they found Todd Fixman, one of the screenwriters of The Guardians of the Galaxy , to polish the script. However, the project seems to have been abandoned by Sony.

At present, there are still many questions about the new version of Popeye The Sailor, the first is whether this version will continue to be produced under Sony's ownership. After all, the contract between Grendi Tatakovsky and Sony has not yet expired. And the story of the film will continue the original idea of Grendi Tatakovsky, or will Popeye The Sailor open a new path and tell a new story.
