AB Media Publishing, LLC
The little yellow fella that nearly everyone in America and beyond seems to love is back! Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Animation are in pre-production on the live-action/animated feature film "SpongeBob SquarePants 2". The casting director has sent out casting calls for principal actor roles in Los Angeles, New York, as well as in Savannah, Georgia. Locations include sound stages in Savannah, locations in the downtown area, and on Tybee Island. Day player speaking roles and extras casting is now underway for talent in Savannah, GA.
The movie is a combination live action and animation film based on the Nickelodeon television series SpongeBob SquarePants. The film centers on SpongeBob - an optimistic, cheerful, enthusiastic yellow sea sponge who works as a fry cook in the fictional underwater town of Bikini Bottom. Other characters include Patrick, a pink dimwitted starfish; Sandy Cheeks - an intelligent, scientific, bipedal anthropomorphic squirrel; the ill-tempered, cynical, and grouchy Squidward Tentacles; and Mr. Krabs, the founder and greedy owner of the Krusty Krab restaurant. The main voice cast of the 2004 SpongeBob SquarePants film, Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Rodger Bumpass, Clancy Brown, and Carolyn Lawrence, are set to return.
There will be two separate directors for "SpongeBob SquarePants 2". Multiple film festival award winner Mike Mitchell will direct the live action scenes. Mitchell is a former animator who has directed several hit feature films including "Shrek Forever After," "Surviving Christmas," "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked". He is set to direct the upcoming films "Monster Squad" and "Once Upon a Time". Seven-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee Paul Tibbitt is on board to direct the animated scenes. Tibbitt is currently the supervising producer and co-executive producer of the Nickelodeon television series "SpongeBob SquarePants". The two directors will helm the project from an original screenplay written by Primetime Emmy Award winner Jonathan Aibel.
Mary Parent, founder and President of Disruption Entertainment, will produce "SpongeBob SquarePants 2". Parent was formerly the Chairperson of Metro Goldwyn Mayer's Worldwide Motion Picture Group, and former President of Production for Universal Studios. She recently produced the major feature films "Pacific Rim," "Noah," and "Godzilla". Cale Boyter is also producing for Disruption Entertainment, and Craig Sost returns to produce his second SpongeBob movie. SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg will executive produce. "SpongeBob SquarePants 2" is scheduled to hit theaters on February 13, 2015.
