Ray Gunn
A new photo has been released from Brad Bird’s upcoming animated feature, the retro-sci-fi noir “Ray Gunn” which hits Netflix later this year. Sam Rockwell plays Ray Gunn, the last human private detective in a world inhabited by all kinds of galactic beings.
Bird tells the outlet the film is designed primarily to entertain: “It has no shortage of thoughts in it. But it’s primarily meant to be good with a box full of popcorn. It’s meant to be a really good time. There’s a lot more action in this movie than a normal noir, and there’s more comedy. It’s a blend of things going on at once.
