It’s been far too long since we last heard anything about Wendell & Wild<\/em><\/strong>, the new film from the mighty Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/em><\/strong> and Coraline<\/em><\/strong>)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>which stars Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> reports that\u00a0Wendell & Wild<\/em><\/strong>, a stop-motion animated “comedy about two scheming demon brothers who must face their arch-nemesis, the demon-dusting nun Sister Helly, and her two acolytes, the goth teens Kat and Raoul,” has been\u00a0snapped up by Netflix, who will finance and distribute the film.<\/p>\n

The film is written by Selick, Peele and\u00a0Clay McLeod Chapman.<\/p>\n

Peele, of course, is incredibly busy following the incredible success of Get Out<\/em><\/strong> (which won an Oscar for best original screenplay, in case you missed that). He’s involved with a reboot of The Twilight Zone<\/em><\/strong>, the upcoming Lovecraft Country<\/em><\/strong>, Tracy Morgan’s TV comedy The Last OG<\/em> <\/strong>and Spike Lee’s next directorial effort Black Klansman<\/em><\/strong>. Plus, he’s working on another social thriller to direct…<\/p>\n

Selick is also working on a TV adaptation of the excellent videogame Little Nightmares<\/em><\/strong>, which has Selick written all over it, quite frankly. Meanwhile, Key has a role in Shane Black’s The Predator<\/em><\/strong> coming up, and he’ll be voicing Kamari in Disney’s new take on The Lion King<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
