At an awards season “tea party” this afternoon for the BAFTAs, Brad Bird revealed his next project to a red carpet interviewer, and it’s not what you’d expect. He’s going to direct a musical.
“I don’t know anything about musicals,” Bird said, “so I figure I should do this because I’m deathly afraid of it and that sounds like a cool thing.”
Bird didn’t reveal any details about the plot, but he says that it’s a project that he’s wanted to make for a long time, and that it will contain about 20 minutes of animation in it.
