Delightfully Eerie Trailer for Henry Selick's WENDELL & WILD with Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key
Netflix has released a new trailer for its upcoming stop-motion animated film horror film Wendell & Wild. The movie comes from Henry Selick, the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline. It tells the tale of “the hellishly funny demons of a teen named Kat,” and it stars Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key. This movie looks like it tells such a delightfully eerie story that will be a lot of fun to watch!
Wendell & Wild is about “scheming demon brothers Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Jordan 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.”
The rest of the voice cast includes Lyric Ross (This Is Us), Angela Bassett (Black Panther), James Hong (Kung Fu Panda), Tamara Smart (A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting), Natalie Martinez (“The Twilight Zone””), Tantoo Cardinal (Dances With Wolves), Gabrielle Dennis, Igal Naor, David Harewood, Maxine Peake, Ramona Young (“Never Have I Ever”), Sam Zelaya, Seema Virdi, Gary Gatewood, and Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Dawn of the Dead).
Netflix will be released in select theaters on October 21, 2022, followed by the Netflix streaming premiere on October 28th.
