Soul (2020)
In early 2016, it was announced that Pete Docter was working on a new film.[6][7] In June 2018, it was announced that Docter was planning to complete his film despite being Chief Creative Officer at Pixar after John Lasseter‘s departure.[8] In June 2019, Pixar announced a new film titled Soul with Docter directing and Dana Murray producing,[9] with a synopsis about a cosmic journey through New York City on Twitter.[10]
Murray said that the film will “[take audiences] to a world where no one’s ever been – well, for a long time”, while co-writer/co-director Kemp Powers said that it is “completely different” to Docter’s previous films. Powers also said that the film will answer important questions in “a really fun way”.[2] Tina Fey also contributed to the screenplay, having helped to write her character’s lines.[2] Pixar choose to portray the film’s main character as a musician as they wanted “profession the audience could root for”, and settled for a musician after trying for a scientist, which “[didn’t] felt so naturally pure as a musician’s life”.[2] Docter described Soul as “an exploration of, where should your focus be? What are the things that, at the end of the day, are really going to be the important things that you look back on and go, ‘I spent a worthy amount of my limited time on Earth worrying or focused on that’?”.[2]
