Dan Harmon adds Rick And Morty movie to his slate

Joining the show for the season four episode “The Old Man And The Seat,” Hair directed three episodes in seasons four, five, and six, and became supervising director on season seven. Before Rick And Morty, Hair spent time on King Of The Hill, Family Guy, and American Dad!. 

Harmon began talking publicly about the Rick And Morty movie in 2023, when he told The Hollywood Reporter that he was taking meetings regarding the film. He even had a meeting with Zack Snyder about it: “Not him saying, ‘I get to do it,’ or anything like that. He was totally a super fan and was just like, ‘Is there any way I can help get that movie started by using my Snyder-ness?'” Harmon said. “So, the Rick And Morty movie is coming as soon as Zack Snyder gets back from his vacation, because I want to start with a Snyder cut of that movie, and then I want to do the director’s cut of a Snyder cut release, so we can just have a six-hour Rick And Morty movie, and three hours of it is in black and white.” Sadly, he was just joking about Snyder Cut of the movie. Also, sadly, the last we heard about the Community movie was Donald Glover giving a not-so-believable update in April: “I know everybody’s been saying that for forever, but I swear to you, I’m not lying about this. I really think that something is gonna happen soon.” Cool. Cool, cool, cool.

Rick And Morty season nine premieres on May 24 on Adult Swim.
