“It was always meant to be a blend of sci-fi and classic detective movies from the ’40s.”

On the project, and working with Bird, Scarlett Johansson expressed her admiration for the filmmaker: “Having the opportunity to collaborate with Brad Bird is a career milestone for me. I have loved his work my entire life. This project is so uniquely special because it is a total realisation of where Brad is currently on his artistic journey. I can’t wait for audiences to see this extraordinary animation that looks like nothing else out there.”
