Based on the series of novels by Colin Meloy and illustrator Carson Elli, Wildwood is currently in production at Laika’s facility outside Portland, Oregon.
Laika president and CEO Travis Knight is directing from a script by Chris Butler. Caleb Deschanel is the cinematographer and Arianne Sutner, Laika’s head of production, is producing with Knight.
Knight said: “That is one helluva cast. Collaborating with these exceptional actors has been a humbling and inspiring experience. Their committed performances elevate Wildwood, and are a remarkable gift for Laika’s animators. I’m in awe of them all.”
