Despicable Me’s Minions To Get Their Own Spin-Off Film

We’ll be getting a double dose of those little yellow evil-doozers  from Despicable Me over the next couple of years, reports Deadline. Because not only will the minions feature in Despicable Me 2 next year, but now they’re also going to get their own spin-off movie, scheduled for 2014.

Brian Lynch, who scripted Illumination and Hop, is drafting the screenplay and Kyle Balda (The Lorax) and Pierre Coffin (Despicable Me) are set to co-direct.

Despicable Me 2, which features the voices of Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Russell Brand and Al Pacino, is released in the UK on 28 June 2013.
