The Stellar Team Behind the Project
Directed by Michel Gondry and written by Martin Hynes, Atlantis boasts a powerhouse team that includes the Tony award-winning writer Steven Levenson. Notably, the music for the film is crafted by Williams himself, along with the talented duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. With a lineup of esteemed producers like Mimi Valdés and Gil Netter on board, the film is set to be a cinematic masterpiece.
The ensemble cast of Atlantis features a diverse array of talented actors and musicians. From SAG winner Kelvin Harrison Jr. to Grammy nominee Halle Bailey, the lineup is truly impressive. Notable names like Oscar winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Emmy winner Quinta Brunson, and Grammy winner Janelle Monáe add further depth to the cast. With the inclusion of seasoned performers like Tim Meadows and Missy Elliott, the film promises a captivating and unforgettable viewing experience.

With its blend of nostalgia, music, and storytelling, the film is poised to make a lasting impact on viewers worldwide. The combination of Williams’ musical genius and Gondry’s visionary direction sets the stage for a truly memorable cinematic experience.
