LOS ANGELES: Netflix has acquired the upcoming animated feature “The Mitchells vs.the Machines” from Sony Pictures Animation. As per Variety, the movie, which was previously titled “Connected”, hails Oscar-winning producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
It was originally scheduled to release last year on October 23 but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film has been directed by Mike Rianda and co-directed by Jeff Rowe from their original screenplay.
