Pixar Director Andrew Stanton Will Direct Two Episodes of STRANGER THINGS Season 2

Andrew Stanton, the director of Pixar's Finding Dory and Finding Nemo will helm two episodes of Stranger Things season two. Like the rest of the world, Stanton is a big fan of the series, so he called up executive producer Shawn Levy, who told EW:

“Andrew called me out of the blue and said, ‘I love it. I would be honored to be part of it.'”

So they hired him to direct episodes five and six of the second season. I think it's great that Stanton is taking another crack at a live-action project. He previously made the movie John Carter for Disney, which I thought was a good movie, but it didn't do very well with most critics and it completely bombed at the box office. 

There's been a lot of great Stranger Things season two news released this past week that's worth checking out. To catch up on all that news and get some more details about what the Duffer Bros. are doing with it, click here.

Rebecca Thomas (Electrick Children) was also hired to direct episode seven, the Duffer Bros. will helm episodes one, two, eight, and nine, and Levy will take on episodes three and four. Season two is set to premiere on Halloween.
