“Minions 2” is Officially in Production

"Minions"

Minions 2 is officially in production.

Minions 2 will be the anticipated sequel to the movie that made us fall even more in love with the ridiculous species of minions we first saw in Despicable Me. 

Kyle Balda, the director of the upcoming movie, has told Digital Spy that the movie is definitely on its way.

“We have a script,” he said. “I went back for about 15 months to do pre-production on the movie. Production is starting right now actually, in Paris, so I’ll be here for another couple of years.”

“We’re just starting – sets are being built and we’re doing some staging and some early layout for the film. And it comes out in almost exactly two years.”

He then added that despite the fact that the original movie was released in 2015, the two-year production schedule is actually relatively quick in comparison with other animated films.

“It’s pretty speedy,” he clarifies. “But it’s great because every day there’s a new puzzle to put together – there’s so many moving parts and things are happening at the same time. Certain parts are still in story development while others are being animated. So it’s like this beast that’s coming together that wakes up one day.”

Balda’s “beast” will wake up in the cinema in June 2020.
