The production company, Walt Disney Pictures, has officially given the green light for a follow-up film to their live-action reimagining of the beloved story “Lilo & Stitch“.
The news was shared on social platforms last Thursday, specifically on June 26, which is also known as 6-26. This date has significance because the main character, a blue-haired alien from the wilds named Stitch, is called Experiment 626 in the movie (can you guess why the studio chose that date?).
It’s clear that a sequel is being planned, given the movie’s massive success. To date, it has earned over $923 million globally, while its production cost was only around $100 million. Typically, films with such box office returns have budgets significantly higher than this movie’s, often twice as much or more as Lilo‘s.
The film started out modestly, fittingly mirroring a lively and disorderly feel reminiscent of Stitch – it originally planned for streaming exclusively on Disney+ but later executives decided to elevate its status to a theatrical release.
In a fresh take on the 2002 animated movie directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the narrative revolves around a solitary young girl, portrayed by Maia Kealoha, who forms an unlikely friendship with a spirited blue canine, who is actually an outlaw alien genetically engineered as a destructive creature. Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen assume roles as aliens disguised as humans, pursuing the fugitive Experiment 626.
The movie was helmed by Dean Fleischer Camp, who was joined by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes in its scriptwriting. The production was handled by Jonathan Eirich and Dan Lin, with the latter currently leading Netflix Films as their head. Ryan Halprin and Louis Provost served as executive producers, alongside Tom Peitzman and Thomas Schumacher.
Thursday’s announcement did not specify any creative team on board for the sequel.
