Following yesterday's announcement that they'll be producing Henry Selick's next stop motion feature film, The Shadow King, K5 International (via Bleeding Cool) has revealed through their website a first look at the project and the following list of voice talent...
Jaden Betts as Hap, Pamela Adlon as Richard, Brendan Gleeson as Darce, Jeffrey Tambor as Cuzzie Bell and Catherine O’Hara as Miss Fern.
Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline) is teaming with Academy Award nominated producer Josh Penn (Beasts of the Southern Wild) and K5 International on his latest feature The Shadow King.
The film concerns nine-year-old New York orphan Hap who hides his fantastically weird hands with long fingers from a cruel world. But when a living shadow girl teaches him to make amazing hand shadows that come to life, his hands become incredible weapons in a shadow war against a ravenous monster bent on killing Hap’s brother Richard and ultimately destroying New York.
Selick will directed from a script he penned. The Shadow King was, until recently, in hiatus after Disney exited the project. Alas, it is now moving forward...
