TOY STORY 4 Director Josh Cooley to Develop LITTLE MONSTERS for Universal Pictures

Universal Pictures is set to produce a family-friendly monster movie titled Little Monsters, and it will be written and directed by Toy Story 4’s Josh Cooley. Just to clarify, this movie is not associated with the 1989 Fred Savage and Howie Mandel film, which has the same title.

This Little Monsters film is described as a live-action hybrid monster feature that will be based on the “artistic outlines and character designs of concept artist Crash McCreery, who has worked on such movies as Jurassic World, Kong: Skull Island and Rango, and also takes cues from the studio’s rich nearly-100-year history of monster movies.” McCreery will also be an executive producer on the project.

There are no details regarding the story that the film will tell, but it’s said to be a “love letter to classic Hollywood and the history of filmmaking with a story that takes a multigenerational approach to the monsters.”

I think this could actually be a lot of fun! Cooley is also a great choice to take on the challenge of bringing the film to life. I hope he delivers a cool monster movie that families can enjoy! There are some great family-friendly monster films out there! I’m curious to see how this one turns out.
