As most of you already know, opening on February 6th, 2009 is director Henry Selickâs (âThe Nightmare Before Christmasâ) next movie âCoralineâ. For those that donât know, âCoralineâ is based on the bestselling book by Neil Gaiman and itâs about a girl that walks through a secret door in her home and discovers an alternate version of her life. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life â only much better. But when the new world turns dangerous, and her counterfeit parents try to keep her forever, Coraline must find a way to get home and save her real family.
Trust me, itâs a very cool story and itâs a movie you should really be looking forward to.
Anyhow, a few weeks ago I posted an exclusive video interview with director Henry Selick. The interview was done at a special event in
Beverly Hills where Focus Features showed a bunch of local journalists some early footage from the movie and then let us talk with the people who made it. While I already posted the Henry Selick interview and wrote about the footage, I havenât posted the interview I did with Scott Tom (lead character fabricator) and Travis Knight (lead animator), as well as another video I shot at the event. The âotherâ footage was the displays they had in the lobby.
So hereâs the poster, followed by the two other videos. If youâre looking forward to âCoralineâ, watch the videos. Finally, below the two videos are links to previous articles on Collider about âCoralineâ. And one last thingâ¦Focus just launched the Coraline website so you might want to check that out!
