Dan Harmon, the producer and creator of Rick & Morty, recently provided an optimistic update on the potential movie adaptation of the popular animated show. Harmon hinted at the possibility of the film becoming a reality, describing it as a super episode. In a recent discussion with executives at Warner Bros., Harmon had a productive conversation about the development of the Rick & Morty movie.

He also expressed confidence that everyone involved was on the same page regarding the ideal concept for the movie. To read Harmon's full comments, see below.
My approach would be to transform the content fragment into a more refined version while maintaining the original meaning:
"I propose creating a Rick and Morty adventure that is both thrilling and visually captivating by investing additional resources into it and extending its duration to 90 minutes. Rather than relying on dramatic shifts in tone or trying to establish its feature status through conventional means, the aim would be to simply craft an exceptionally impressive episode of Rick and Morty."
"I believe adopting a minimalist approach would allow our animators to unleash their creativity, resulting in more intricate and visually stunning animations. This would enable the inclusion of mind-bending sequences and other extraordinary elements."
What To Expect From The Rick & Morty Movie
"This approach is preferable, as I believe it should not be constrained by a strict adherence to the series or bring about significant changes afterward. In fact, it should be similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the notion was that Indiana Jones already exists within George Lucas' imagination, and Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark simply showcases his most extraordinary adventure to date."The Ricky & Morty movie has not yet received official greenlight despite multiple updates and discussions between Harmon and Warner Bros. Harmon has expressed his vision for the movie as a "super episode" in the vein of South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. Specific details about the movie's storyline are limited, and there is no information available regarding its potential release window.

If the proposed movie does proceed, it is highly probable that the original show's voice actors would join the project. This could potentially include the main cast of Sarah Chalke as Beth, Chris Parnell as Jerry, Spencer Grammer as Summer, as well as regular supporting voice actors Kari Wahlgren, Phil Hendrie, and Cassie Steele. The new voices for the main characters have not yet been announced, as Justin Roiland was dismissed from the show due to allegations of sexual misconduct and assault. The new voice actors for Rick & Morty will likely be revealed in Season 7, scheduled to premiere on October 15.
Harmon's comments suggest that the Rick & Morty movie might center around the ongoing adventure of the main characters and run for 90 minutes. However, these plans are still in the early stages and require further discussions between the studio and the showrunner before moving forward with production. Nonetheless, it appears that the creator is ready to bring the beloved series to the big screen, hinting at potential future developments.
