May 10 11 1:19 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	http://www.slashfilm.com/focus-features-laika-producing-paranorman-voices-casey-affleck-tempestt-bledsoe-anna-kendrick/ In 2009 Focus Features and LAIKA released Coraline, the great stop-motion animated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s kids’ book of the same name. Now the companies are teaming again for two more stop-motion 3D films. The first is ParaNorman, which will be released on August 17, 2012. The second is an unnamed project that will be released in 2014. The voice cast and plot for ParaNorman were sent out today via press release; check the details below. Chris Butler (Coraline storyboard supervisor) wrote ParaNorman, and he and Sam Fell (The Tale of Despereaux, Flushed Away) are co-directing. Focus describes the movie like so: In the comedy thriller, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, 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. The voice cast has some names you’ll like: Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In, The Road) in the lead, with Casey Affleck, Tempestt Bledsoe, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, Bernard Hill (Titanic), Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Elaine Stritch (30 Rock).

It's stop-motion animation with models. Just watching the trailer, though, it does look almost too good, like CGI. But the making of clip shows them working with models. A perfect Monster has no end...

Stick around after the credits for a great stop motion bonus.

If you know who Marcel Delgado and Willis O'Brien are, you will want to stick around for the closing credits. `http://Cinemadave.Livejournal.com "...for those who enjoy the entire experience of movies, from the promotional hype to the criticism given at the dinner table....."` http://AdventuresofCinemaDave.com
