The stop-motion legends over at Laika have revealed their newest movie. We've got a first look at Wildwood, which adapts The Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy's book:
—have all been nominated for an Academy Award for best animated feature. Now, the studio is back with Portland-set stop-motion filmis based on the children’s fantasy book of the same name by The Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy and artist Carson Ellis. The film takes place in the mysterious, otherworldly realm called—you guessed it—Wildwood. Wildwood exists just outside of Portland, and it’s a no-go area. You’re not supposed to know about it, and you’renot supposed to go there.
Attached to direct the project is Travis Knight. Knight is the co-founder and lead animator at Laika, recently directing. Caleb Deschanel is set to shoot the film, and while it’s always exciting to see the master at work, what’s even more exciting is that this will be his, based on what we’ve seen from the studio—the chilling parallel universe in—we’re pretty confident in assuming that Laika will certainly be bringing its delightfully unsettling style to this vibrant story.
