At present, in a packed presentation earlier than a raucous, appreciative viewers at Annecy 2023, DreamWorks Animation shared a first-look at Orion and the Darkish, coming to Netflix in 2024. The 3DCG movie, directed by Sean Charmatz and written by Academy Award-winning writer and filmmaker Charlie Kaufman (Anomalisa, Being John Malkovich, Everlasting Sunshine of the Spotless Thoughts), is produced by Peter McCown alongside govt producers Walt Dohrn and Bonnie Arnold.
The quite exhuberant crowd was wowd (really, it’s wowed) by the filmmakers as they shared clips, photographs, and particulars concerning the comedy journey.
Produced by DreamWorks Animation and primarily based on a e book by Emma Yarlet, the movie options the voice expertise of Jacob Tremblay as “Orion” and Paul Walter Hauser as “Darkish.”
Within the film, Orion appears lots like your common elementary faculty child – shy, unassuming, harboring a secret crush. However beneath his seemingly regular exterior, Orion is a ball of adolescent nervousness, fully consumed by irrational fears of bees, canines, the ocean, mobile phone waves, murderous gutter clowns, and even falling off a cliff. However of all his fears, the factor he’s essentially the most afraid of is what he confronts on a nightly foundation: the darkish. So, when the literal embodiment of his worst worry pays a go to, Darkish whisks Orion away on a curler coaster journey world wide to show there’s nothing to be afraid of within the night time. Because the unlikely pair grows nearer, Orion should determine if he can study to just accept the unknown – to cease letting worry management his life and at last embrace the enjoyment of residing.
