'Incredibles 2' Release Date: Writer-Director Brad Bird Confirms Script is Underway
It was almost a year or so when the news first broke out that a sequel for 2004's computer-animated comedy superhero film, "The Incredibles," was announced. Updates for the film's second installment have been scarce since then until this recent announcement from its writer-director.
Brad Bird, who was also the brain behind Pixar's beloved animated film, "Ratatouille," confirmed that the script for "Incredibles 2" is now in development.
"I'm just staring to write it, so we'll see what happens," he told NPR.

Bird, who also voiced Edna Mode -- she was the fashion designer for the Supers in the film -- also talked about the current status of film industry and the rampant info leakage.
"It's very difficult nowadays because everyone has a device with which they can ruin your movie. They print things on paper so that nobody can copy them, but they also make them impossible to read when you're on the set," he continued.
Disney CEO Bob Iger announced on March 2014 during a shareholder's meeting that Pixar and the Mouse House are planning to continue the story of former superheroes, Bob (voiced by Craig T. Nelson) and Helen Parr's (Holly Hunter) and their children, as well as a third installment for the "Cars" franchise.
As to what "Incredibles 2" would bring, Bird previously said during an interview in May 2013 that he's got "many, many elements that I think would work really well in another Incredibles film, and if I can get 'em to click all together, I would probably wanna do that."
