This fall, Harry Selick of The Nightmare before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, and Coraline fame is back with Wendell & Wild on Netflix. The project reunites Jordan Peele with Keegan-Michael Key, and while Peele has mostly been directing in recent years, he heard of the project before Get Out was released, and now, Selick says the pages convinced him to sign on.
The reveal is made in an article published by Screen Rant today. The outlet visited the set of the stop-motion project. While there they learned the work is inspired by Selick’s sons, that Selick reached out on a whim to Key and Peele thinking they probably would not know him, and Peele was courteous enough to make sure Wendell & Wild began pitching before his debut, in case Get Out was a failure.
