Mahershala Ali, Carey Mulligan, and Jacob Tremblay lead all-star cast of Wildwood
The animated adaptation of the YA book by The Decemberists' Colin Meloy is finally coming
It only took a decade, but stop-motion animation studio Laika’s adaptation of Wildwood—the YA book by illustrator Carson Ellis and The Decemberists’ Colin Meloy—is finally moving forward. Not only that, but in the words of Laika co-founder (and Wildwood director) Travis Knight, they’ve assembled “one helluva cast” for it.
He might be a little biased in favor of the movie, since he’s directing it and he co-founded the studio making it, but it’s not like you can think of a better way to describe this cast: Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Awkwafina, Angela Bassett, Jake Johnson, Charlie Day, Amandla Stenberg, Jemaine Clement, Maya Erskine, Tantoo Cardinal, Tom Waits, and Richard E. Grant. Even Colin Meloy had to admit that the cast is good on Twitter, and if you can’t trust the guy directing the thing, surely you can trust him! He wrote “The Mariner’s Revenge Song,” damn it!
