\u201cI\u2019m so excited that\u2019s she\u2019s part of our High In The Clouds film,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve just been listening to some of her parts and I\u2019m blown away by it.

Paul McCartney\u2019s Current Projects<\/p>\n

Due to be released next summer, High in the Clouds is a 3D animated film inspired by the 2005 novel of the same name. McCartney wrote the adventure book alongside Geoff Dunbar and Philip Ardagh.<\/p>\n

Dion leads the voice cast for the project, which also includes Himesh Patel, Hannah Waddingham, Idris Elba, Lionel Richie, Ringo Starr, Jimmy Fallon, Cl\u00e9mence Po\u00e9sy, Pom Klementieff, and Alain Chabat.<\/p>\n

High in the Clouds follows the story of Wirral, a teenage squirrel who sets off on a mission to set music free after its banned from his town by Gretsch, a bossy owl.<\/p>\n

McCartney is writing and composing original songs for the project, which will feature a score by Michael Giacchino.<\/p>\n

Toby Genkel will direct the film. Meanwhile, Jon Crocker is writing the script and Patrick Hanenberger\u00a0is in charge of production design.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always loved animated films and this is a hugely important passion project for me,\u201d McCartney said<\/a> in a press release back in 2019. \u201cI can\u2019t wait for the world to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

High in the Clouds isn\u2019t the only movie currently in McCartney\u2019s orbit. Director Sam Mendes is currently hard at work on The Beatles \u2013 A Four-Film Cinematic Event<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The project will include four movies, each told from the perspective of a different band member.<\/p>\n

Mendes has expressed excitement about the great undertaking, which will be released to the world in April 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honoued to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time,\u201d he previously said, \u201cand excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies.\u201d<\/p>\n
