Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, and Josh Gad will lend their voices to the upcoming DreamWorks Animation film Me & My Shadow.  Per THR, the fantasy film stars as a bored shadow (Hader) who is tethered to a timid human (Gad), but gets the excitement he yearns for when a crime in the shadow community propels them into adventure to stop a shadowy villain from taking over the human world.  Hudson will voice Grubb's love interest in the real-world.

When we reported on the film back in December 2010, Mark Dindal (The Emperor's New Groove) was set to direct, but he's been replaced by How to Train Your Dragon's head of story, Alessandro Carloni, who will make his directing debut on Shadow.  The film will blend CGI animation (the human world) with hand-drawn animation (the shadow world), and I'm excited to see the result.  Me & My Shadow is due out November 13, 2013.
