Summary
- Sam Rockwell voices a private eye in futuristic 1939.
- Scarlett Johansson voices multimedia star Venus Nova.
- Brad Bird's long-gestating animated film 'Ray Gunn' premieres.

Brad Bird's ambitious animated film, "Ray Gunn," is set to debut on Netflix later this year, bringing a 30-year-old vision to life. The movie features Sam Rockwell as the title character, a private eye operating in a futuristic, alternate 1939. Scarlett Johansson lends her voice to Venus Nova, a multimedia star, and Tom Waits voices Eyera, Gunn's alien companion.
The story unfolds in the vast city of Metropia, where Gunn becomes entangled in a complex case involving murder and mayhem, with Johansson's character playing a pivotal, seductive role. Bird describes "Ray Gunn" as a fusion of science fiction and classic 1940s detective films, akin to "Maltese Falcon" meeting "Buck Rogers."
