When "Wreck-It Ralph" hit theaters in 2012, it became a huge hit among moviegoers and critics alike. The unique storyline of the original left fans screaming for "Wreck-It Ralph 2."
It sure looks like the sequel is already in development, but there has been no official confirmation has been made on the plot and cast details. It can be speculated that the team behind the successful movie is working on an awesome sequel plot that will match or even outdo the first movie that grossed over $368M worldwide.
In an interview with Huffington Post, director Rich Moore shared his experience working on "Wreck-It Ralph," saying:
"When I started working at Disney, about four years ago, I was invited by [Disney and Pixar chief creative officier] John Lasseter to come in as a director and to develop ideas. There had been kind of a notion about making set in the world of video games," he said.
"Rather than just making a movie about video games, I wanted to start with the character and what the character was going through. I fell in love with this idea of an old school game character, like Donkey Kong, who looks like a very simple guy but is really wrestling with this very profound struggle: 'What's the meaning of life? What if I don't like this job I've been programmed to do?' To me, that felt really juicy."
And when asked about doing the sequel, the director responded positively:
"Oh, yeah. My experience was so tremendous on this film and the animators, the designers, the story artists, the actors -- I know everyone here had a good time making the film. I've talked with John and Sarah and we would all love to visit that world again and work with those characters again. We would jump at the opportunity. We're all crossing our fingers about as far as you can cross them that we get a chance to do that."
"Wreck-It Ralph 2" has been speculated to hit theaters by 2016. But without an official statement from Disney, this remains to be pure wishful thinking.
