Edgar Wright working with shadows

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.
