A Rick And Morty Movie Similar To The South Park Film Was Planned – Here’s What Happened – /Film

In conjunction with the release of the new animated series “Krapopolis,” which garnered some impressive ratings on Fox in its series premiere, The Hollywood Reporter published a profile of “Rick and Morty” co-creator Dan Harmon, who has also created shows like “Community” and the new animated series “Strange Planet.” In this story, it’s revealed that there was a “a serious conversation with executives at Warner Bros.” about making a “Rick and Morty” movie come together. 

THR says Dan Harmon and the WB execs had “all aligned” on the “Rick and Morty” movie basically being a “super episode,” not unlike what “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone did when they were tasked with making “South Park: Bigger, Loner & Uncut.” But there weren’t any other details about the potential movie revealed. 

Of course, as we all know, both the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) went on strike earlier this year, and Hollywood was basically shut down for 148 days. Naturally, there hasn’t been any significant movement on the project since then. But now that the WGA strike has come to an end, and the SAG strike will likely/hopefully follow imminently, could we end up seeing the “Rick and Morty” movie happen?
