The new trailer for the film I've been working on with Laika Entertainment, The Boxtrolls, is now available! It is exclusively featured on iTunes and not only shows footage from the film, but a unique behind-the-scenes look at the process of making the movie.  I hope you enjoy it and we'll see you in theaters September 2014!

OK, this might be the last blog post of the day - no promises though! 

I have been hard at work with LAIKA yet again to help with another stop motion animated feature film! It's called The Boxtrolls, here's what it's about: 

It's going to be an awesome film and we're all really excited about it. The only bad part is that it doesn't come out for another year. But to hold you over until then, here is the official teaser trailer! 

Please visit www.theboxtrolls.com for more info and updates about the film!!! 

The teaser trailer for ParaNorman, the movie I have been working on with LAIKA for the past year is finally here! You can also see the poster for the film above. And now for the trailer:

Here is the official synopsis of the film from laika.com:

A misunderstood boy who can speak with the dead takes on ghosts, zombies and, worst of all, grown-ups, in order to save his town from a centuries-old curse.

Norman Babcock is an outcast in his small New England town. When a horde of zombies is unleashed on the populace, Norman learns he must use his paranormal powers to make things right again. That’s not an easy task when you’re only eleven. And you’ve just been grounded.

The voice cast includes Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road), Oscar® nominee Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, Ocean’s Eleven), Oscar® nominee Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air, Twilight), Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner John Goodman (Monsters, Inc., The Big Lebowski), Leslie Mann (Knocked Up), Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Toy Story 3), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, How to Train Your Dragon), Tony® and Emmy® Award winning performer Elaine Strich (30 Rock), Tempestt Bledsoe (The Cosby Show), Bernard Hill (Titanic) and Alex Borstein (Family Guy).

Directed by Sam Fell and Chris Butler.

Based on an original story by Chris Butler.

Distributed by Focus Features.

Arianne Sutner (Animation Producer, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou) and LAIKA President and CEO Travis Knight are producers. Academy Award® winner Brian Van’t Hul (King Kong, Coraline) is Visual Effects Supervisor.  Nelson Lowry (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Corpse Bride) is Production Designer and Tristan Oliver (Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit) is Director of Photography.

We are all very excited to be able to finally share a little bit of this amazing film! Looking forward to the August release!
