Comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are joining forces with Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, Monkeybone) on a new stop-motion horror comedy titled Wendell and Wild, according to Variety. Now, it should be noted that at this stage they’re still developing the project, which is based off a story by Selick.
Selick explains that the movie is about, “…two scheming demon brothers who must face their arch-nemesis, the demon-dusting nun Sister Helly, and her two acolytes, the goth teens Kat and Raoul.”
Both Key and Peele each have experience with animation work, with both having appeared on Fox’s “Bob’s Burgers”.
No other news has yet been released but it’ll be interesting to see where this goes. Selick’s films always have such a wild imagination and fantastic set of images that it’ll be hard to not find interest in this film.
