Dan Harmon confirms a Rick and Morty feature film is officially in development, with series supervising director Jacob Hair set to direct the big-screen project.
The multiverse is finally making the jump to the big screen. Series co-creator Dan Harmon recently confirmed to Cinemablend, in a report originally covered by Polygon, that a feature-length Rick and Morty movie is officially in development. Rather than outsourcing the project to an outside filmmaker, the studio is keeping the vision close to home by tapping supervising director Jacob Hair to helm the project.
For fans of the series, Hair is a familiar and trusted name. He joined the creative team back in season four and directed some of the show's most acclaimed and structurally ambitious episodes, including the fan-favorite Vat of Acid episode. Showrunner Scott Marder noted that viewers can get a preview of Hair's cinematic pacing by watching the upcoming season nine, where Hair oversees the entire directing slate. Harmon stressed that keeping the project within the core team was the ideal path forward, aiming to deliver a supersized cinematic adventure rather than a forced dramatic departure from the show's roots.
While plot details and release timelines remain under wraps, Harmon previously teased that the film will essentially function as a massive, high-budget ninety-minute version of a classic series adventure. Whether it drops as a standalone narrative or ties into the show's overarching multi-season arc, the project gives the community plenty to look forward to as streaming and television continue to blur lines for modern entertainment consumers.
