Pixar is hard at work on Brave, the company’s first fairy tale film, schedule for released June 22, 2012. The Scotland-based film is also Pixar’s first to star a female protagonist. The lead character will be voiced by Kelly Macdonald, a role previously intended for Reese Witherspoon who had to drop out due to scheduling issues.
Brave tells the story of a princess named Merida who brings turmoil to her kingdom and in an attempt to right her wrong seeks out an old Wise Woman who grants her a wish. Along her journey she will interact with the kingdom’s three lords: Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), and Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane).

Disney/Pixar has revealed that the 2012 sequel formerly known as Monsters, Inc. 2 will be officially titled Monsters University. No word yet on whether or not Billy Crystal and John Goodman have signed on to reprise their roles, but it is expected they will be back.
The sequel is rumored to be a prequel that follows Mike and Sulley’s days at the University of Fear when they were enemies, before they became the best of friends. This certainly ties in with the new title.

Disney has decided to let Robert Zemeckis’ Yellow Submarine remake sink due in part to the complete financial bomb that is Mars Needs Moms.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, sources say the $6.9 million opening for the $150 million-budgeted Mars Needs Moms, produced by Zemeckis, was the final nail in the buoyant coffin.
However, there is some good news for motion-capture fans as Zemeckis is now free to meet and deal with other studios.
When asked why he chose to use motion-capture for The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn instead of the traditional live-action approach, Steven Spielberg responded:
“It was based on my respect for the art of Hergé and wanting to get as close to that art as I could. Hergé wrote about fictional people in a real world, not in a fantasy universe. It was the real universe he was working with, and he used National Geographic to research his adventure stories. It just seemed that live action would be too stylized for an audience to relate to. You’d have to have costumes that are a little outrageous when you see actors wearing them. The costumes seem to fit better when the medium chosen is a digital one.”
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn will be in theaters Dec. 28th.
