New Line Cinema has hired Jennifer Coyle, director of Bob’s Burgers and DC Super Hero Girls, and Leo Matsuda, who has worked on several Disney films like Wreck-It Ralph and Big Hero 6, and directed the Pixar Short Inner Workings, as the directors of the upcoming Hello Kitty live action/animation hybrid.

Known Universe’s Lindsey Beer wrote the script for the film, but details of the plot are being kept quiet for now.

New Line president/chief creative officer Brener said the studio was “extremely lucky to have found in Jennifer and Leo, two directors who not only share a profound connection to the unforgettable characters Shintaro Tsuji and Sanrio have created over the past 40-plus years with Hello Kitty and her friends, but also have the imagination, talent and heart to bring this iconic world to life on the big screen.”

Are you looking forward to seeing Hello Kitty on the big screen?
