Coraline Excitement


After this incredible feat, Henry Selick previewed a few minutes of unfinished footage from the upcoming animated film Coraline. The project is based on the best-selling book by Neil Gaiman. The story revolves around a young girl (voiced by Dakota Fanning) who unlocks a mysterious door in her new home, and enters into an adventure in a parallel reality. The surprise of the evening was when Neil Gaiman came out. He made it clear that none of us were supposed to talk about the actual footage we saw. Consider my lips zipped. Though, I will say, it looked awesome.

The excitement from seeing a few moments from Coraline pushed the discussion in a different direction. One of the journalists on hand asked about the difference in the animation process between Nightmare and the new film. Selick said, "We sort of have a 3-D script for Coraline. We're learning as we go. What they did with the 3-D in Nightmare so well is they didn't over sell it. Everybody thinks it's 3-D, you know? Turn it on, turn it up louder. In the end, I was always looking for Coraline's two different worlds. I wanted the equivalent of The Wizard of Oz in color. So I thought of the 3-D a couple of years ago."

What about the decision to make Coraline without the English accents? Selick told us that; "I talked about it with the guys that were producing the film. We talked about the location and all of that. We do have some English characters. But it's just one of those things where it felt like the right idea." Then he addressed the They Might Be Giants rumor. The one about them doing a couple of songs for the soundtrack, "They're doing two songs. It's not like a musical. Her father in the other world can play the piano instead of typing at his computer. When she goes to get him for dinner, he's written this song for her. It's a really cool crazy song that they have written."
