Ratatouille star Patton Oswalt addresses possible remake
Patton Oswalt would sign on to a live-action remake of Ratatouille 'in a second'. The 56-year-old actor starred as the rodent chef Remy in Pixar's beloved 2007 animated movie, and Oswalt has now revealed he would return for a Ratatouille remake - so long as director Brad Bird was at the helm again. When TMZ asked The King of Queens actor if he was open to voicing Remy again in another Ratatouille film, he said: 'If Brad Bird came up with a great idea to do it, I would do it in a second. 'But, that's up to him. Yeah, to get to work with Brad Bird [again] would be great.' Oswalt was also quizzed on whether he thought Ratatouille was one of the best Disney-Pixar movies, but the actor insisted 'that's for the viewers to decide'. He added: 'I mean, I had a blast doing it, but I don't think I get to make that ranking.' Ratatouille follows a rat named Remy (Oswalt) who dreams of becoming a chef and teams up with shy garbage boy Linguini (Lou Romano) to cook in a famous Parisian restaurant once run by the late Auguste Gusteau (Brad Garrett). As they navigate sabotage from head chef Skinner (Ian Holm) and win over food critic Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole), their unlikely partnership changes the kitchen forever. This comes after it was rumoured another Ratatouille movie was in early development at Pixar, though the project has not been confirmed by the studio or Bird. Bird returning for a sequel or remake of Ratatouille isn't out of the realm of possibility, as the 67-year-old director helmed the 2018 follow-up to his 2004 animated superhero flick, The Incredibles. The filmmaker is also set to return for The Incredibles 3, though will only serve as a producer and writer for the movie, while Peter Sohn, 47, gets into the directing chair. Sohn - who directed other Pixar movies like Elemental and starred in Ratatouille as Remy's brother Emile - said being chosen to helm The Incredibles 3 was 'a dream come true'. He was quoted by Variety as saying about working with Pixar on the third Incredibles movie: 'I've always loved this family and what they represent - the messy, funny, heroic chaos of everyday life. To help tell their next chapter is a true honour.' While the cast of The Incredibles 3 hasn't been confirmed yet, it's almost certain Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter will return as Bob and Helen Parr, AKA Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl. Following the announcement of The Incredibles 3 at Disney's D23 showcase in August 2024, Pixar boss Pete Docter teased Bird was hard at work on the upcoming movie. The studio chief told Fandango: 'Brad is an amazing collaborator. He's so fiery and passionate. Different people work in different ways. He's a guy who needs a little more time to build up the steam to get the passion and the power going. 'I think we're at that point now. And we're not sharing any details right now, because it's still pretty malleable in terms of what the story is actually about.'

Patton Oswalt Jokes His Daughter Alice, 16, Is 'Lethally Adventurous' After She Goes Swimming with Sharks
Patton Oswalt jokes his daughter is "lethally adventurous" after his daughter went swimming with sharks The actor went on to joke that his daughter has a "dark sense" of going towards danger He shares his 16-year-old daughter Alice with late wife Michelle McNamaraPatton Oswalt's daughter is not taking after her famous father. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the actor, 56, spoke with guest host Diego Luna about his 16-year-old daughter Alice and shared that she's pretty adventurous for a teenager. 'She's like lethally adventurous. She'll always run toward the most dangerous thing she can find," Oswalt says of his daughter, whom he shares with late wife Michelle McNamara. "Last week she went swimming with sharks off of Hawaii in a cage," he continues. "Sent me footage. Like, 'I'm swimming with sharks, Dad!' I'm like, 'I don't know if you're my daughter because that is so [terrifying].'

However, Oswalt admits that this isn't the first time he's realized that his daughter likes to live on the wild side. 'Even when she was little, she had this dark sense of going towards danger," he says. "When she was little, she went to camp. Her mom was like, 'Now listen, when you get to camp, just send us a quick note to say, 'I'm alive.'' 'She waited two weeks and then sent us a note. And this was the note that she sent. It says 'I'm alive,'" Oswalt laughs, showing a picture of the handwritten note. "That's all she mailed us. She waited two weeks for a perfect punchline." Back in February, the actor shared how he's keeping the memory of his late wife alive for Alice. Oswalt shared with PEOPLE that he's saved all the books that inspired his late wife, true crime writer Michelle McNamara, for his teenage daughter. "I saved all the books that really influenced Michelle for her to read," he shared with PEOPLE. "A lot of authors that really landed with her, and one of them was Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, which she read and loved." "But, it's not like, here are all the true crime books you should read," he added. "It's like these are the myriad books that shaped your mom and also, which by default shaped you. So that's kind of what we're doing." Oswalt wed his late wife in 2005 and welcomed Alice four years later. McNamara died suddenly in her sleep in April 2016 at age 46 from a combination of prescription medications and an undiagnosed heart condition. Oswalt has since remarried, tying the knot with Meredith Salenger in November 2017. Read the original article on People
