The studio that brought you
Coraline and releasing next year
ParaNorman will now make
Colin Meloy, singer for
The Decemberists, and his wife
Carson Ellis's young adult novel
Wildwood in to a film. The book is about “
Prue McKneel, a young lady who must confront a world filled with magic and danger after her younger brother is kidnapped, forcing her to enter the Impassable Wilderness" The book is based on
Portland OR. Which is good because I live in
Oregon and its rare to hear
Oregon in a film.
CEO
Travis Knight said a bout the film-
It’s a story in the grand tradition of Tolkien, as big as ‘Lord of the Rings’ with a wonderful contemporary quality as well. Nothing of its kind has been attempted in our medium. You have these epic scenes alongside very nuanced character moments, which are the two hardest things to do in stop-motion. It’s exciting to imagine how this might all come together.
Lets see how this turns out.
