\n\tParis-based production company Good Hero has greenlit a sequel to its 2016 animated hit Ballerina<\/em> (aka Leap!<\/em>), a family-friendly feature about a 19th century orphan who pursues her dreams of becoming a ballet star in Paris. <\/p>\n

\n\tGood Hero announced the sequel at the Annecy animated film festival on Monday, saying it was part of a plan to expand the Ballerina<\/em> franchise across film, television and digital platforms.<\/p>\n

\n\tElle Fanning, Dane DeHaan, Nat Wolff, Kate McKinnon and Carly Rae Jepsen headline the English voice cast of the original feature. Set in 1884 Paris,\u00a0Ballerina<\/em>\u00a0tells the story of an orphan girl (Fanning) arriving in the City of Light with a dream to become a dancer at the famed Grand Opera House.\u00a0Jepsen\u00a0plays a mysterious cleaner and mentor for the orphan as she struggles to make her way in the world of ballet. The France-Canada production used dance choreography modeled on real performances by ballerina Aur\u00e9lie Dupont, the former Paris Opera star and one-time artistic director, and fellow dancer J\u00e9r\u00e9mie B\u00e9lingard.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film was a global hit, selling to more than 100 countries and grossing over $120 million at the box office worldwide. <\/p>\n

\n\tProduction on Ballerina 2<\/em> begins this month, with Laurent Zeitoun, who wrote the screenplay, directing. Zeitoun and Gregory Ouanhon, co-founders of Good Hero, are producing. Veteran French studio Gaumont returns as both French and international theatrical distributor, with a global release slated for late 2029.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside the sequel, Good Hero said is producing a Ballerina<\/em> animated TV series, with British writer Andrew Burrell, known for his work on Matt Groening\u2019s Disenchantment<\/em> and BBC\u2019s EastEnders<\/em>, serving as series writer. Burrell has previously worked as head writer and script editor on the animated series Sasha and Milo<\/em> and contributed to the Danger Mouse<\/em> reboot.<\/p>\n
