Thirty-something years ago, Bird wrote the script for Ray Gunn, a neo-noir detective flick set in a utopian future. On Ray Gunn, Bird re-teamed with John Lasseter (formerly of Pixar) and David Ellison (of Ghost Protocol). During Brad Bird’s SDCC panel, fans like me had the chance to see the first seven minutes of Ray Gunn. This is especially evident in a scene where Ray Gunn immediately tries to save the alien he just raided the office of. And I cannot wait to see Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn on Netflix when it comes out on December 18.
