(excerpt from story)

Who’s Folsom? She made the Black List for a much different and entirely original script called 1969: A Space Odyssey Or: How Kubrick Learned To Stop Worrying And Land On The Moon. An alternate-history story of a publicist who convinces filmmaker Stanley Kubrick to work with NASA in order to fake the moon landing. Folsom was also one of the writers of Thor: Ragnarok, though she was denied credit on that one by the WGA. She is repped by Verve, Kaplan/Perrone and Morris Yorn.

 

 

The sequel was originally going to be written by Rashida Jones and her writing partner Will McCormack. They exited, and Jones recently went public to deny a story in THR that she had left because of an overture made by Pixar chief creative officer John Lasseter, who at that time was set to co-direct the latest film. That story prompted Lasseter to take a six-month leave to reconsider “missteps” in his behavior toward women — Deadline’s Dawn Chmielewski and Anita Busch also weighed in with revelations of questionable behavior toward women — but Jones said the part of the Kim Masters article about her was inaccurate and that she left the project over creative and philosophical differences.

The film is a hugely important project to Disney/Pixar after the last one topped out at over $1 billion in global box office. The sequel is dated for release June 21, 2019.
