New WALLACE AND GROMIT Project Headed Our Way

Nick Park, the creator of the Wallace and Gromit characters and films, has told THR that he has some ideas brewing for some new Wallace and Gromit projects. But while we have had movies in the past, Park is thinking something smaller in scale this time around. Here’s what he had to say about the upcoming project:

“I think having just reached (age) 60, you sort of start to think how much can I do, you know?” says Aardman director Park. “And I've got so many ideas, and feature films just take so long. So, I'm not saying 'no' but at the moment, a half hour seems far more attractive I must say.”

I had no idea that stop-motion clay took so long to shoot. Park’s last feature film, Early Man, took five years to complete! And a half-hour short would take around a year. Park went on to say that there’s really no way to speed up the process, and if you can shoot three seconds in a day, you’ve had a good day. Park went on to say about this idea:

“I feel I'm onto a good idea,” Park shares, “and I can't give too much away because it would spoil it really, but it's Wallace & Gromit up to their old antics.”

Good enough for me! My whole family enjoys the Wallace and Gromit movies, and I’m sure this upcoming project will be no different.
