A lot of Up news is pouring in lately, I hope you don’t mind that I combined it all into one post. Hope it’s helpful:
Radio Interview with Pete Docter: Pete Docter talked to Doug Fabrizio of Utah’s RadioWest KUER 90.1 about his upcoming film, Up!
Docter talks about everything Up, including the inspirations for the film, the lessons we’ll take from it and it’s 5 years of development. Among the topics discussed are character designs, where he details Carl, Russell and Ellie’s dynamics and how they work together to move the story along. He also talks about directing the voice actors including funny stories about Jordan Nagai (Russell) and Ed Asner (Carl.) Pete Docter even reveals who will be playing Ellie (Carl’s childhood sweetheart and wife), his own daughter!
All this and more can be heard in this monumentally informative and enjoyable 50-minute radio chat, which you can listen to here.
