TOY STORY 4 Adds Oscar Winner Patricia Arquette

It's safe to say Patricia Arquette is having a pretty good 2015. The actress won an Oscar early in the year for the culmination of her twelve years of work in Richard Linklater's Boyhood, snagged a lead role on a network TV show with CSI: Cyber, and now The Wrap reports that she's been added to the cast of Disney/Pixar's highly-anticipated upcoming sequel Toy Story 4.

The outlet says Arquette will be playing a new character in the Toy Story universe, a "laid-back mom who's described as a hippie." Sounds like Arquette could pull that off in her sleep. Super fans, answer this for me in the comments: did we ever hear what Bonnie's mom sounded like at the end of Toy Story 3? I don't recall. Do you think Arquette could be playing Bonnie's mother, or might she be someone else entirely?

John Lasseter is returning to direct, and Rashida Jones and Will McCormack wrote the screenplay from a story by Lasseter, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton, and Lee Unkrich. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are returning to reprise their roles as Woody and Buzz, respectively, and I'd wager a whole bunch of the series regulars will be back as well. We know this movie will be a love story between Woody and Bo Peep, who was absent from Toy Story 3, and that it won't be a pure continuation from the previous storyline. Toy Story 4 opens in theaters on June 15th, 2018.
