Loved the ham-tacular Pirates!? Revelled in the woolly magic of Shaun The Sheep? Good news. The Bristol claymation geniuses are back in action with Early Man, a prehistoric caper that’s just recruited the Oscar-winning talents of Eddie Redmayne to voice its lead character.
Redmayne will be voicing Dug, the titular caveman, in an adventure that pairs him up with a sidekick called Hognob. Early Man meets Early Pig... Expect all the usual Aardman charm, cross-era silliness and sly cultural references. ...
Eddie Redmayne has joined Nick Park’s eagerly anticipated Early Man, which Studio Canal is financing, selling and distributing in its core markets. Early Man is a stop-frame feature film that sees Park going behind the camera for the first time since Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit. Park also co-directed Chicken Run. Mark Burton and John O’Farrell have written the script. The BFI is also a partner on the film. ... Early Man tells the story of how one plucky caveman unites his tribe against a mighty enemy and saves the day, while also inadvertently inventing the game of football.
The film is part of StudioCanal’s expansion into family fare following the global success of Paddington– $260 million worldwide gross and counting- and Shaun the Sheep. Redmayne won the Academy Award for his bravura performance as physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything... He is repped by United Agents and CAA.
Aardman are the definitive animation studios in England. Despite the ongoing progress with computers and all that simplistic technology, the guys behind Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep still trail-blaze with stop-motion animation. That’s painstakingly crafted characters from slabs of clay made into this terrific and jovial animation pieces. How incredible is that!...(x)
