Andrew Stanton's ‘In the Blink of An Eye' is Now A HULU Original

July 26, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

Much thanks to William for sending me this.

Andrew Stanton, the Oscar-winning filmmaker known for Pixar classics “WALL-E” and “Finding Nemo,” is directing “In the Blink of Eye,” a sci-fi drama for Searchlight Pictures. The film wrapped postproduction in April 2024.

A release date is now being eyed for the film, but on HULU! The announcement was hidden inside a recent June press release from Searchlight. “In the Blink of an Eye” is included in the studio’s 2024-2025 television preview and dubbed as a “HULU original.”

Thomas Newman, who previously collaborated with Stanton on Pixar’s “Finding Nemo”, and “Wall-E,” will be composing the score. Written by Colby Day, on paper this sounds like one of the most ambitious big studio projects in recent years, seeking to explore no less than the entire history of the world and tackle the nature of life, love, hope and connection, doing so by focusing on three intersecting storylines.

The film starring Kate McKinnon, Rashida Jones, Daveed Diggs, Jorge Vargas, Tanaya Beatty and Skywalker Hughes, follows three storylines, spanning thousands of years, intersecting and reflecting on hope, connection and the circle of life.

Call it Stanton’s “The Tree of Life” if you want to, but the writer-director seems to be borrowing from other movies in this one. In 2022, when the project was first announced, THR had reported that “In the Blink of An Eye” was said to have been inspired by “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “Interstellar,” and “Magnolia. Talk about ambitious.

Although primarily known for his Pixar creations, Stanton’s live-action debut was 2012’s “John Carter”, which became one of the biggest box-office bombs in movie history. Reviews were not good either, but the film has managed to amass a curious cult following in recent years.

There were a series of canceled “John Carter” sequels after Disney had lost close to $200 million on the film. THR reassessed the film on its tenth year anniversary by saying, “This was the moment Disney became the servant of sure bets, and Hollywood realized star power was truly gone. That was when we entered the age of name recognition, where familiar characters and concepts—Jedi, superheroes—became worth more than any actor's name."
