Wreck-It Ralph sequel in the works according to movie's composer

A sequel to Wreck-It Ralph could very well be on the horizon after the original movie's composer, Henry Jackman, spilled the beans that the story is in development.



Jackman told Collider (via VG247) that the popular video game-based movie that multiple people were currently working on the script, but didn't fess up more than that.

“I don’t know any more other than a story is indeed being written. Just the movie itself I thought was a fantastically imaginative and creative piece of work. Rich [Moore], the director, actually got involved in the writing There was another writer and I can’t remember his name [Phil Johnston]. Just as a concept, it would be almost remiss of them not to write another one. It’s a great idea and it’s a great character.”

Wreck-It Ralph was a critical success in late 2012, receiving a score of 86% at Rotten Tomatoes, and it raked in $189.4 million in the box office. There was highly any doubt that a sequel would be coming, especially when director Rich Moore talked about throwing around ideas for the sequel over a year ago.

The greatest part about that is Moore wants to add in Mario to the second movie. He couldn't fit Nintendo's mascot into the first one, despite many people assuming the video game giant just restricted the creators to add him in.

Mario last hit Hollywood way back in 1993 with a summer "blockbuster." Despite my guilty pleasure for that horrendous movie, it would be nice to see Mario back in motion pictures in a much better way.
