Like it’s brethren, Can You Imagine, My Peoples and the upcoming Medusa, rumors say Endless Animation is planning on resurrecting another animated film with Laika dubbed The Shadow King being the second film in their three picture deal, with A Fool’s Errand in Y4, and the upcoming The Grim Movie Of Billy and Mandy in Y7. Henry Selick will return to the fray of his passion project to write and direct the film. The plot remains largely the same as the original: “Hap Dagger, a nine-year-old orphan, hides his fantastically weird hands from a cruel world. But when a Living Shadow Girl named Macy (Brooklyn Prince) teaches him to make amazing hand shadows that come alive, his hands become incredible weapons in a shadow war against ravenous monsters who could destroy Hap’s brother and all of New York.”
Although Hap hasn’t been cast an impressive crew is ensembled with Sunny Suljic, Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Ayoade, Jack DeSena and Danielle Bisutti. The film is targeting a potential Y5 release but nothing is set in stone.
