New Teaser Trailer Revealed for Stop-Motion Halloween Movie WENDELL & WILD Starring Key and Peele
A new teaser trailer and poster have been released from the stop-motion Halloween movie, Wendell & Wild, from Henry Selick, the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele star in the film, which was co-written by Peele and Selick, and is described as “the hellishly funny demons of a teen named Kat.”
Peele is playing the character Wendell, and Key is Wild, and they are joined in the cast by 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).
Here’s the synopsis:
“Wendell & Wild is an animated tale 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.”
This looks like it’s going to be a ton of fun, and like another Halloween-time classic from Selick. Check out the teaser below, and watch Wendell & Wild in select theaters on October 21, 2022, followed by the Netflix streaming premiere on October 28, 2022.
