First teaser trailer for ‘Wendell & Wild’ released
Netflix have today released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming stop-motion feature Wendell & Wild, the latest project from Academy Award®-nominee Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, Coraline).
From the delightfully wicked minds of Henry Selick and Jordan Peele, comes Wendell & Wild, an animated tale about scheming demon brothers Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Peele) – who enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot – a tough teen with a load of guilt – to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.
Wendell & Wild is directed by Selick who co-wrote the film with Academy Award ®-winner Jordan Peele, starring as the titular Wendell alongside frequent collaborator Keegan-Michael Key as Wild.
