Animator Chris Butler, part of the team behind CORALINE and CORPSE BRIDE, steps behind the camera for PARANORMAN, hitting theaters on August 17, 2012. Co-directed by Sam (FLUSHED AWAY) Fell, and backed by an all-star team of cinematographer Tristan (CHICKEN RUN, WALLACE & GROMIT) Oliver, composer Jon (ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, MAGNOLIA) Brion, and producers Travis (CORALINE) Knight and Arianne (A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS) Sutner, the film arrives with a rich lineage in fantasy and stop-motion animation.
Synopsis:
Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a little boy with the gift to see and communicate with the dead, to the amazement of his friends and dismissal of his family. When the deceased rise and besiege the little town where he lives, it is up to Norman and his pals to save the day.
Smit-McPhee is joined by John Goodman, Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, Tempestt Bledsoe, and Bernard Hill on voice duty for what looks to be one fun, spooky ride the whole family can enjoy. Take a look at the just-released poster and teaser trailer, courtesy Laika Entertainment…
