Netflix Goes Full Noir
Brad Bird is back with Ray Gunn. And, we just got a second trailer for the animated mystery movie. Netflix is thrilled to have one of the most recognized names in animation working on a film for the streamer. Ray Gunn recruits the voice talent of Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson. It’s a super stylish take on retro-futuristic mystery and espionage. Take a look at the latest trailer down below and see what else we had to say about the film too!
Ray Gunn soars onto Netflix December 18.
Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn Gets Second Trailer
Netflix just showed off the second trailer for Ray Gunn. The animated feature follows a private detective as he tries to untangle a central murder. Sam Rockwell’s familiar tones give Ray a charm that fits this retro-tinged world. The noir themes are there as both inspiration and execution. And, Tom Wait’s Eyera is an absolute hoot in Ray Gunn. It’s safe to say Brad Bird has still got it.
The streamer has had a great showing with animation over the last couple of years. Who could forget KPOP Demon Hunters last year? But, there was also Ponocchio from Guillermo del Toro and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl from Aardman. It’s an amazing time to be a fan of animation. And, Ray Gunn is hoping to end up on your list of favorites as well. Check out the trailer up top!
A Personal Dream For The Director
You have to admire the dedication to this idea from Brad Bird. It’s been almost 30 years since he had the idea for Ray Gunn. And, at certain points you would think that he gave up on ever seeing it on the screen. But, the filmmaker told TUDUM that the journey is made sweeter by the fact that everything ended up working out.
“It’s been, probably, way too long a road,” Bird chuckled. “I never would’ve believed that it would take this long to get it made, but I’m very happy that it is.”
Bird added, “I am always trying to do something that is challenging for me, but I never feel that I’m in a position where I can just say, ‘This is what I want to do,’ and somebody will want to do it.”
What’s The Movie About?
In Metropia, a gigantic city in an alternate future as seen from 1939, private eye Raymond Gunn is drawn into a case involving aliens, murder and a multimedia star named Venus Nova.
