\nRick and Morty<\/em> is taking aim at the big screen.<\/p>\n

\n\tJacob Hair, who has directed episodes of the long-running Adult Swim series since 2019, is in talks to helm an animated feature version for Warner Bros., The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has learned. Plot details have not yet been publicly shared for the film that is in early development.<\/p>\n

\nRick and Morty<\/em> debuted in 2013, and the Emmy-winning series has ranked as basic cable\u2019s most-watched comedy over the past several seasons. President Curtis<\/em>, a spinoff series featuring voice actor Keith David in the titular role, is set to premiere soon from Adult Swim. <\/p>\n

\nDan Harmon and Justin Roiland co-created Rick and Morty<\/em>, which centers on inventor Rick Sanchez and his universe-spanning adventures with teen grandson Morty. In early 2023, Adult Swim cut ties with Roiland following felony domestic abuse charges that were later dismissed. Up until that point, Roiland had voiced both titular characters, with the roles having since been recast. <\/p>\n

\nRick and Morty<\/em> is set to launch its ninth season Sunday and has been renewed through season 12. Hair serves as supervising director of the show. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2023, Harmon told THR<\/em> that he had been part of conversations with Warner Bros. executives about a Rick and Morty<\/em> movie, and he recalled feeling optimistic. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy philosophy would be to just take a Rick and Morty<\/em> adventure, and spend a bunch of extra money on it and make it 90 minutes long,\u201d Harmon said at the time. \u201cNot to try to earn its feature status by virtue of canonical dramatic tone shifts or anything like that, but rather to just make it a super badass episode of Rick and Morty.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHarmon also noted that filmmaker Zack Snyder had offered to help pull some strings to bring a feature version of Rick and Morty<\/em> to life: \u201cHe was totally a super fan and was just like, \u2018Is there any way I can help get that movie started by using my Snyder-ness?’\u201d Snyder later played himself in a cameo during the eighth season of Rick and Morty.<\/em><\/p>\n
