Previously announced voice cast includes Alicia Vikander, Jamie Dornan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Bill Nighy and Gillian Anderson.

The film is produced by former 2AM exec Christine D’Souza’s new US outfit After Hours, Hunter Hall and Nicholas Ashe Bateman of New York-based Maere Studios and Laura Rister for Los Angeles-based Esme Grace Pictures.
Mister Smith is co-repping North America with After Hours.
The Turning Door is the second feature directed by Bateman, following 2020’s The Wanting Mare.
