Wendell & Wild, a stop-motion animated comedy directed by Henry Selick and written by Jordan Peele, will premiere on Netflix on October 28—just in time for Halloween—and Netflix has just released a teaser trailer and pictures from the film.
Wendell and Wild, two clever demon brothers (played by Keegan-Michael Key and Peele), seek the help of Kat Elliot, a tough teen carrying a lot of guilt, to summon them to the Land of the Living in the scene told in the movie. However, what Kat asks for in return sets off a gloriously weird and comic adventure unlike any other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of life and death, all of which is presented using the handcrafted artistry of stop-motion.
The voice cast includes the following:
- Key; Peele;
- Lyric Ross;
- Angela Bassett;
- James Hong;
- Tamara Smart;

- Igal Naor;
- Gary Gatewood;
- Gabrielle Dennis;

- Maxine Peake;

The movie is directed by Selick, who also works as a producer, and was co-written with Peel. Peele and Win Rosenfeld produce for Monkeypaw, while Ellen Goldsmith-Vein produces for The Gotham Group. Executive producers are Kamil Oshundara and Ian Cooper for Monkeypaw, Eddie Gamarra, and Lindsay Williams for The Gotham Group. Bruno Coulais, an Academy Award nominee, composed the music.
