Here's what Pixar's 'Cars 2' will be about

As you may have heard already, Pixar is developing "Cars 2," and the last thing I heard about the film was that Walt Disney moved up the release date for the Brad Lewis-helmed animated film from 2012 to 2011. Today I have more details about the sequel.

During a presentation in London, Pixar man John Lasseter had quite a few things to say about the plot of "Cars 2," and Empire has all the details. After the jump, find out what to expect from Lightning McQueen and his fellow cars...

Captain Jack will be back for fourth ‘Pirates’

It’s been quite a day for Disney. Besides announcing that “Cars 2” will hit theaters in 2011 and Johnny Depp will play the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” the studio also revealed new information about several other upcoming films.

As Variety reports, Depp has also agreed to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow for a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” flick. That’s all the information we have about that project at this stage.

Additionally, Depp will play Tonto in the adaptation of “The Lone Ranger.” Wow, looks like he's going to be really busy working on this close relationship with Disney.

Unfortunately, Jerry Bruckheimer and Nicholas Cage also announced a third “National Treasure” flick. I really don’t think making a fourth “Pirates” is a good idea, but another “Treasure”? Why doesn’t anyone come up with something new and original anymore?

Despite the sequel mania at today’s presentation, the fact that Depp boarded “Alice in Wonderland” is good news indeed. What do you guys think about all these announcements? Are you loving it? Or are you sick of Disney?

Pixar moves up ‘Cars 2’ release date

The sequel to Pixar’s animated hit “Cars” is racing to theaters faster than expected. Walt Disney announced during a presentation Wednesday that “Cars 2” will open nationwide in 2011.

Originally, the film was scheduled for release in 2012. Brad Lewis is directing the flick, which follows the adventures of racing superstar Lightning McQueen.

I really don’t mind an earlier date for “Cars 2,” but I sure hope Pixar will take the necessary time to make this one just as energetic and original as the first one. No sense in rushing things…
