Abbi Jacobson To Star In ‘The Mitchells Vs. The Machines,’ The Next Animated From Phil Lord And Chris Miller

Here is the synopsis for the film:

Michael Rianda will direct the film based off a script he co-wrote with Jeff Rowe, his fellow Gravity Falls writer. The film has been in development since 2018, when Rianda and Rowe were first announced to be in charge of the project with Lord and Miller producing. The Mitchells Vs The Machines has been in the works since before Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse (which Lord and Miller produced and for which Lord wrote the story) was released to critical raves and a surprise Oscar win.

All around the world, the electronic devices people love – from phones to self-driving cars to a sleek new line of personal robots – turn on humanity. With the help of two malfunctioning robots and the family’s delightfully overweight pug, the Mitchells will have to get past their problems and work together to save each other and the world.
