Edgar Wright will direct an animated film for Dreamworks, fixing on the subject of shadows.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the “Shaun of the Dead” helmer will co-write with David Walliams.
“Edgar will spearhead a new approach to this fascinating concept and we’re ecstatic to have him on board as director along with David as co-writer,” said a statement from DreamWorks Animation’s co-presidents of feature animation Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria. “We’ve always been intrigued by a film concept involving shadows, and now with Edgar’s signature comedic style and abilities as a natural storyteller, audiences will be treated to a truly captivating and energetic tale.”
This is a different project than “Me and My Shadow” which Dreamworks Animation had been working on.
