\n\tGLENDALE: Filmmaker Edgar Wright has been tapped by DreamWorks Animation to co-write and direct a new animated feature film.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe untitled project will reportedly focus on the concept of shadows. It would mark the first feature-length animated project for Wright, who is known for films such as Shaun of the Dead<\/em> and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World<\/em>. His co-writer on the project will be David Walliams, a best-selling children’s author, comedian, actor and TV personality.<\/p>\n \n\t“Edgar will spearhead a new approach to this fascinating concept and we’re ecstatic to have him onboard as director along with David as co-writer,” said DreamWorks Animation’s co-presidents of feature animation, Bonnie Arnold and Mireille Soria. “We’ve always been intrigued by a film concept involving shadows, and now with Edgar’s signature comedic style and abilities as a natural storyteller, audiences will be treated to a truly captivating and energetic tale.”<\/p>\n \n\t“My first endeavors in filmmaking as a teenager were in animation, so it was hugely intriguing to get a call from DreamWorks Animation about potentially directing,” said Wright. “When the shadows concept was suggested to me, I could see the poster, the title sequence and pretty much the whole movie. It’s a blast writing this and to have one of my oldest friends in comedy, David Walliams, along for the adventure is a thrill.”<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\tDreamWorks Animation’s head of development, Gregg Taylor, and development executive Damon Ross are overseeing the project for the studio. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GLENDALE: Filmmaker Edgar Wright has been tapped by DreamWorks Animation to co-write and direct a new animated feature film.
