Nick Park, who co-directed the original Chicken Run with Peter Lord, will have “a consulting role” on the film.
In the original Chicken Run, Ginger was voiced by Julia Sawalha and Rocky was voiced by Mel Gibson who… is not mentioned in the press release for some reason.
Although it was released 20 years ago, Chicken Run remains the highest-grossing animated movie in the history of the medium, having earned almost $225 million worldwide.
For Ginger and her team, even if it means putting their own hard-won freedom at risk – this time, they’re breaking in!
