Genndy Tartakovsky Will Direct HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3 After All
Last year when Genndy Tartakovsky was trying to get a new Samurai Jack series off the ground, he said that he wouldn’t be back to direct Hotel Transylvania 3, which was announced by Sony Pictures shortly after the first sequel was released.
Well, Samurai Jack is coming back and now it looks like the Sony has managed to get Tartakovsky back on board to direct Hotel Transylvania 3. He helmed the first two movies, which both turned out to be wonderfully entertaining films. Tartakovsky has this to say in a statement regarding his return to the franchise:
“I thought I was done exploring the world of Hotel Transylvania after the first two films, but while I was away from the franchise finishing my TV show Samurai Jack, an idea sparked that I got really excited about and made it irresistible to return and helm myself this third adventure.”
So, not only do we only get Samurai Jack back but we also get another Hotel Transylvania from the filmmaker. I think it’s great that he's coming back to make the next film! It wouldn’t be the same without him as he brings such a fun, comedic and heartfelt vibe to the story and characters. Hotel Transylvania shouldn’t keep going without him.
Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, and Andy Samberg are all reprising their role of Dracula, his vampire daughter Mavis, and her human husband Johnny in a story that was written by Michael McCullers (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me).
