Jojo Rabbithas been on our radar around here for months. Any new film from Taika Waititi is worth paying attention to. But then you take a look at the film’s synopsis, and think, “How can Inotsee this?":
“I’m stoked to begin shooting my anti-war satire. We’ve assembled an incredible cast and I couldn’t be more excited to finally ridicule Nazis and their beliefs. This film is going to piss off a lot of racists and that makes me very happy,” said Waititi when production began.Jojo Rabbitis a Fox Searchlight movie, which means it’salsoa Disney movie now. And there’s something extra wild about a dark Disney-owned comedy featuring an imaginary, buffoonish Hitler. What a time for cinema. That said, don’t expect Disney to take part in the film in any way – when the House of Mouse highlighted its release slate through 2027 of both Disney and Fox films, they didn’t think to includeJojo Rabbit.
It’s clear producers think they have something special on their hands here because they’re positioningJojo Rabbitfor both festival season, and an awards season run. In fact, the film is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
“Taika is a master at bringing honesty and humanity to the surface in any story, all while allowing us to laugh. We could not be more thrilled to join him in the remarkable journey of Jojo Rabbit,” said Presidents of Production Matthew Greenfield and David Greenbaum.
