Mark Osborne, co-director of "Kung Fu Panda," revealed to SCI FI Wire that he's confident a sequel will be in the works soon.
"I think once a film makes $200 million, I guess it's a pretty good sign that there'll be more of them," said Osborne. "And I think it's something the studio [DreamWorks Animation] is pretty excited about, and [chief executive] Jeffrey Katzenberg in particular is really excited about ... the franchise potential of Kung Fu Panda. So yeah, I think, I'm sure there'll be many stories to tell, and it'll go on."
Osborne, who directed the film with John Stevenson, added that he hasn't had talks yet about any future storylines. "At this point, I don't know exactly what the plans are," he said. "I think there's stuff in the works, but I'm taking a little vacation."
Last we heard, artists have already started early work on the sequel, while at the same time animators are hand-drawing new material for the "Kung Fu Panda" DVD.
