Edgar Wright to Direct Dreamworks Animated Film
Dreamworks has announced that Edgar Wright, one of the most prolific directors working today, will transition to animation, co-writing and directing an original animated feature about shadows.
Wright will write the script alongside David Wailliams, who is a comedian, actor, and children's author.
The project is an update of sorts to a film Dreamworks Animation had previously attempted to get off the ground, that one called Me and My Shadow. That concept followed "an incredibly frustrated shadow that yearns for a more dynamic life but happens to be stuck with Stanley Grubb, the world's most boring human".
While we can't expect that to be the direction for the new film, we can expect something original and fascinating from the director of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and The World's End.
Regarding the film's concept, Wright said "I could see the poster, the title sequence and pretty much the whole movie".
