Nearly two years since we last heard an update on the upcoming Hello Kitty movie, Deadline brings word that New Line Cinema has finally found the right pair to head the production of their long-awaited live-action/animated hybrid film adaptation of the popular cartoon character.
Hello Kitty, created by Yuko Shimizu in 1974, has appeared in various video games, animated series and movies, comic books and even an album centered around her.
Meanwhile, Matsuda began his career at Walt Disney Animation where he worked on several popular films such as Big Hero 6 and Zootopia.
