Phil LordandChristopher Millerhave yet another project on the way, as they are working on a live-action adult action-comedy flick calledStrays, joined by a great creative team, including directorJosh Greenbaumand writerDan Perrault. Greenbaum just made his narrative directorial debut withBarb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar, and Perrault is the creator of the mockumentary Netflix seriesAmerican Vandal, so it’s safe to say Strays is in good hands.
Straysfollows an abandoned dog seeking revenge on his owner who left him, and teams up with other strays to enact his plan. This plot seems to be more suited to an animated adaptation actually, but it’ll be interesting to see how they plan to turn this story into a live-action film. Will this be aCats & Dogssituation where they CGI their mouths moving, or maybe something likeHoporSonic the Hedgehogin which the dogs are animated but the humans are real?
