ParaNorman To Be a 3D Stop Motion Zombie Film
According to Bloody Disgusting we have a fascinating little zombie film in the works. It’s got an AMAZING group of people working on making it visually pleasing – Focus Features and LAIKA who made Neil Gaiman’s Coraline. (If you haven’t seen Coraline it’s an absolute work of art!) So on the target date of April 17th, 2010 we’ll be able to see this one.
In the comedy thriller, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst of all, moronic grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.
Not sold yet? If you aren’t you should be ashamed of yourselves but possibly the voice acting will sell you:
The voice cast includes Academy Award nominee Casey Affleck (The Killer Inside Me ), Tempestt Bledsoe (“The Cosby Show”), Jeff Garlin (Toy Story 3), John Goodman (Red State, Matinee, Monsters, Inc.), Bernard Hill (Titanic), Academy Award nominee Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air), Leslie Mann (Rio), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Fright Night 3D, How to Train Your Dragon), Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In) and Tony and Emmy Award winner Elaine Stritch (“30 Rock”).
OH YEA! This one is going to be a work of art.
