The Pharrell Williams and Michel Gondry musical film Atlantis has a May 9, 2025 release date according to Universal.
The picture is based on Williams’ early years spent in the summer of 1977 at the Virginia Beach Atlantis Apartments.
This week at Telluride, the international premiere of Piece by Piece, a Focus Features biopic directed by Morgan Neville and narrated through Lego animation, will take place.
Gondry is the director of Atlantis, which is based on a screenplay by Tony Award-winning writer Martin Hynes (Toy Story 4) and Jonathan Larson (tick, tick, BOOM!), who wrote the Broadway adaptation of Jonathan Larson’s novel. Williams co-wrote the songs with Justin Paul and Benj Pasek, who were almost EGOT winners. Williams produces alongside two-time Best Picture Oscar contender Gil Netter (Life of Pi, The Blind Side) and Emmy winner Mimi Valdés (EP of Hidden Figures, the series Harlem).
The EPs are Paul, Pasek, Michael Mayer, Shani Saxon, Jennie Lee, Raffi Adlan, and Matthew Hirsch.
