Revision as of 05:31, 3 June 2020
The Croods 2 is an upcoming sequel to The Croods. It is set to be released on December 23, 2020. [1] The movie had originally been cancelled after the purchase of DreamWorks by Universal Pictures in 2016 but was announced as being back in production on September 19, 2017.
Plot
The initial announcement contained only one detail about the film: the Croods will "face their biggest threat since leaving the cave: another family".[2]
Cast
As of June 2018, only the following actors have been announced.[2] In October 2018, Peter Dinklage has joined the cast.[3]
- Nicolas Cage as Grugg
- Emma Stone as Eep
- Ryan Reynolds as Guy
- Clark Duke as Thunk
- Catherine Keener as Ugga
- Cloris Leachman as Gran
- Peter Dinklage as Phil Betterman[3]
- Leslie Mann as Hope Betterman
- Kelly Marie Tran as Dawn Betterman
Development
By April 2013, DreamWorks Animation had started developing a sequel to the film, with Sanders and DeMicco returning to direct it.[1] According to DeMicco, the sequel would focus on Ugga and motherhood, stating, “The cool thing about doing a sequel with a family is it doesn’t have to be just about the leads. There are other stories to be told, such as the story of the mother, Ugga (Catherine Keener). The next one will have a lot to do with motherhood. If this film was the last chapter of the caveman, the second will be the first chapter of society.”[2]
Pre-Production
In September 2013, it had been confirmed that Cage, Stone, and Reynolds would reprise their roles in the sequel.[3] On June 12, 2014, it was announced that the sequel would be released on November 3, 2017.[4] On September 21, 2014, the film's release date was delayed to December 22, 2017.[5]
Production
On May 21, 2015, Leslie Mann and Kat Dennings had joined the voice cast. Mann would lend her voice to an upscale mother of a rival family, while Dennings would voice her daughter, Dawn. It was also confirmed that Keener and Duke would also reprise their roles.[6] On August 9, 2016, nearing NBCUniversal/Comcast's impending acquisition of DreamWorks Animation, 20th Century Fox removed the film from its planned December 22, 2017 release schedule. The film would be instead released by Universal Pictures in December 2018.[7] On August 23, 2016, it was announced that The Lego Movie and Hotel Transylvania co-writers Kevin and Dan Hageman will rewrite the script.[8]
Cancellation
On November 11, 2016, DreamWorks announced that production for the sequel was cancelled. According to reports, there had been doubts about proceeding with the project before Universal's acquisition of DreamWorks, and it was DreamWorks' decision to cancel the film.[9] Following this, DeMicco, the co-director of the first film, left the sequel to work on Vivo for Sony Pictures Animation.[10]
Pre-Production
On September 19, 2017, DreamWorks and Universal announced that the sequel was back in production with a release date scheduled for September 18, 2020. It was also confirmed that the original actors would reprise their roles.[11] On October 18, 2017, it was announced that Joel Crawford will direct the film with Mark Swift serving as producer.[12]
Production
On October 5, 2018, it was announced that Peter Dinklage had joined the cast to voice Phil Betterman.[13] On April 12, 2019, the film's release date was delayed to December 23, 2020.[14] On October 29, 2019, DreamWorks announced that Kelly Marie Tran had replaced Dennings as Dawn while Mann was still confirmed to be part of the cast.[15]
