Behind the Scenes for “Coraline”

Behind the Scenes for “Coraline”

August 13, 2008 By S. K. Sloan 3 Comments

A high-definition stop-motion animated feature — the first to be originally filmed in 3-D — with spectacular CG effects, based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book.

A young girl (Dakota Fanning) walks through a secret door in her new home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life — only much better. But when this wondrously off-kilter, fantastical adventure turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents (including Other Mother [Teri Hatcher]) try to keep her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home — and save her family.

Cast: Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Ian McShane
Director: Henry Selick (“Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas”)
Writers: Henry Selick; Based on the book by Neil Gaiman

Theatrical Release: February 2009

    I remember when Coraline won the Hugo. Neil Gaiman decided to do an impromptu reading the next morning from some of his upcoming projects.

    The room was packed!

    Neil keeps control of the content of video versions of his work-which means this will be spectacular! If they manage to make another movie as good as “Stardust” then YIPPEE!
