PUSS IN BOOTS Sequel In Development With SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE's Bob Persichetti Set To Direct
After co-directing the Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Bob Persichetti has reportedly signed on to helm the sequel to DreamWork's Puss in Boots. Hit the jump for more details.
It's been eight years since the original Puss in Boots film hit theaters, and now Deadline is reporting that a sequel to DreamWorks' Shrek spinoff is officially in development, with a very exciting name attached to direct.
According to their report, Bob Persichetti is currently onboard to direct the Puss in Boots sequel. If Persichetti's name seems familiar, it's because he recently co-directed the Oscar-winning animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
While Into the Spider-Verse may be Bob Persichetti's only directing credit, he does have a long history of working on animated movies, which includes serving as the Head of Story for the original Puss in Boots.
There is currently no release date for Puss in Boots 2, and it's unclear whether cast members such as Antonio Banderas or Salma Hayek will return to voice their respective characters.
