Noah Schnapp Joins VR Adaptation of Neil Gaiman's WOLVES IN THE WALLS
Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has joined the cast of Wolves in the Walls, an animated VR series based on the children’s book of the same name by Neil Gaiman. Schnapp will voice the brother of Lucy, who is the story’s protagonist.
Director Pete Billington had this to say about Schnapp in the role:
“We believe that Noah Schnapp brings a special quality to the brother role,” said “Wolves” director Pete Billington. “As soon as he read his first line, we were smitten. We love him in ‘Stranger Things’ and can’t wait for audiences to hear his performance in ‘Wolves in the Walls.'”
And here’s the synopsis for the film, also written by director Billington for IMDB:
Not everything is at it seems, when 8-year old Lucy's imagination proves to be a reality. Based on the work by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, Wolves in the Walls transports you into the magic of virtual reality cinema, where only you can help Lucy discover what's truly hiding inside the walls of her house. Conceptualized by the Emmy-Award winning team that brought you Henry, and choreographed by New York's critically acclaimed immersive theater company, Third Rail, this immersive-fable asks; what would it be like to interact, have a relationship, and go on a quest with a character inside a virtual reality movie?
This sounds like a fun story. Neil Gaiman has a wild imagination, and it sounds like he really let it run wild for this tale.
Here’s a snapshot of Schnapp’s character in the story:
The second chapter of the series is set to premiere in April. Did you watch the first chapter, or read the book? Are you excited for the second?
