Laika, the company that brought us the beautiful little gem Coraline, is back with another stop-motion animated feature, ParaNorman, written by Coraline storyboard supervisor Chris Butler. Now we’ve got the first teaser trailer for the film, and it looks exquisite. Using Donovan’s ‘Season of the Witch’ as the score for the trailer is also a great choice.
Watch the first teaser trailer for Focus Features & Laika’s ParaNorman, in high def via Yahoo:
ParaNorman will be released on August 17, 2012. Chris Butler and Sam Fell (The Tale of Despereaux, Flushed Away) are co-directing.
The film has a great voice cast – Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In, The Road) in the lead, with Casey Affleck, Tempestt Bledsoe, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, Bernard Hill (Titanic), Anna Kendrick, Leslie Mann, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Elaine Stritch (30 Rock)
In the comedy thriller, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst of all, moronic grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.
