Finding Nemo II Discovers Andrew Staton for Sequel
LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Finding Nemo II, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2003 box-office success, has found its director. Pixar Studios has tapped for Nemo’s sequel previous director Andrew Staton, claims new reports.
The sequel reportedly has sat in development at Pixar Animation Studios for years. But after some delays, Stanton was reportedly reeled in for the sequel.

Staton previously directed the financially unsuccessful John Carter. Nemo, in turn, pulled in more than $867 million in its first showing.

To date, it remains the fifth highest earning animated film, ever. Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds wrote the first film, while Stanton directed and delivered the story.
