Some more news coming out of Cannes as it has been revealed that filmmaker Luc Jacquet has already shot a follow-up to the superb documentary March Of The Penguins!
March Of The Penguins 2: The Call has been shot in super high-def 4K, and will feature stunning submarine and drone imagery, so reports Deadline. The trade blog reports that the ‘story’ this time revolves around ‘a young penguin about to embark for his first journey as he hears the mysterious call that compels the species to leave home for an unknown destination.’ They add that along with the young penguin in The Call, an older one — age 45 — will observe the journey, recalling the memories of his decisive moment and the doubts and fears which accompanied him.
The first film was memorably voiced by Morgan Freeman (in the English-language version), and while there’s no word on whether he’ll return, the film is said to be heading to cinemas in the early part of 2017.
March Of The Penguins also won the Oscar for Best Documentary, and raked in a whopping $127 million around the world. Great news.
