新线影业正在商定《Hello Kitty》的开拍日期。该公司在2019年就取得了基于Hello Kitty形象的电影拍摄权，并决定由詹妮弗·科伊尔（Jennifer Coyle）和李奥·松田（Leo Matsuda）执导，这将会是一部动画形象和真人混合的电影。

 

Plot details surrounding the trendsetting Japanese pop icon¹ are under wraps, but the intention is for it to be catnip for the global consumer audience.

电影主要是围绕这个引领潮流的日本流行形象展开，剧情的具体细节还处于保密状态，想以此吸引全球的观众。

 

Coyle and Matsuda bring years of animation² experience to the project and have worked on numerous animated³ films and TV shows, but this is their first collaboration⁴ as they beat out many other directors for the job.

科伊尔和松田把多年从事动画工作的经验带到该影片的制作中，他们曾参与过许多动画电影和电视节目的制作，但这是他们在击败了多位导演后的首次合作。

 

Most recently serving as supervising producer on HBO's adult animated series Harley Quinn, Coyle is also known for her work as a director and showrunner for the DC Super Hero Girls franchise⁵ and as a director across six seasons of Bob's Burgers (earning Primetime Emmy and Annie Award nominations) and The Spectacular Spider-Man.

科伊尔最近担任了HBO成人动画《哈利·奎因》的监制，她还因担任《DC超级英雄美少女》系列动画的制片和导演，以及六季《开心汉堡店》（获艾美奖和安妮奖提名）和《神奇蜘蛛侠》的导演而闻名。

 

A talented Disney animation artist, Matsuda's name came to the fore⁶ when he conceived and directed the thought-provoking short film Inner Workings. Matsuda's credits include DreamWorks' Abominable⁷, Disney's Ralph Breaks the Internet, Zootopia, Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It Ralph, and The Simpsons Movie.

作为一名迪士尼动画天才艺术家，松田因构思并执导了发人深省的短片《内在运作》而声名鹊起。他的作品包括梦工厂的《雪人奇缘》，迪斯尼的《无敌破坏王2：大闹互联网》、《疯狂动物城》、《超能陆战队6》和《无敌破坏王》以及电影版《辛普森一家》。

 

Coyle said "this is not only a rare chance to bring a beloved character to life, but also to spread the message of love, friendship and inclusivity that Hello Kitty stands for. The world so needs her brand of joy and happiness."

科伊尔说：“这是一个难得的机会，不仅能够让一个深受喜爱的角色活起来，还能够传播Hello Kitty所代表的爱、友谊和包容。这个世界太需要她的欢乐和幸福了。”

 

"Growing up in Brazil with a Japanese family, I was surrounded by the whimsy⁸ of Hello Kitty and it served as a reminder⁹ that it's okay to be different. Along with Jen, FlynnPictureCo. and New Line, I am delighted by this incredible opportunity to work with one of the most universally beloved characters and expand their relatable Sanrio stories even further." Matsuda said.

松田说，“我在巴西的一个日本家庭长大，从小就被Hello Kitty的奇思妙想所包围，它让我知道每个人都可以是与众不同的。我很高兴能有这样一个机会，与科伊尔、弗林影业和新线影业一起，与世界上最受喜爱的角色之一合作，并将相关的三丽鸥家族的故事进一步展开。”
