Kat Slays in the Wendell and Wild Trailer, with more to see

The number of options for Halloween-themed movies seems to be overwhelming for moviegoers. Despite this, we frequently return to the old favorites or mindlessly browse the abundance of live-action releases on our several subscription platforms. So stop scrolling because this Halloween, Netflix is releasing a must-watch breath of fresh air.

Henry Selick and Clay McLeod Chapman’s novel Wendell and Wild eventually turned into a film by Selick and contemporary horror master Jordan Peele. Peele has a long history with the genre going back to his first picture as a filmmaker, Get Out, which is now as one of the best horror movies ever out. Even though Coraline, the beloved stop-motion horror movie, was by Selick 13 years ago, he is no slouch either. Although he did have a Coraline sequel in development that was back in 2012, fans of Selick have had to wait a long time for him to return to filmmaking.

Other details :

In light of this, it can be clear that the movie is in good hands thanks to Selick’s expertise in eerie stop-motion and Peele’s familiarity with both comedy and horror. This is ready to be the Halloween film many fans will see this year.

So, given the excitement around the movie, it only makes logical to give a thorough summary of all we currently know about Wendell and Wild. In a comical twist on the “land of the dead” cliché, the movie depicts Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Jordan Peele) as demon brothers who desire to summon themselves to the living world. They must fight against Sister Helley (Angela Bassett), a nun who exterminates demons and just the kind of nun two demon brothers would not get along with. Antics start to happen when they include 13-year-old Kat Elliot (Lyric Ross) in their mission. Despite the lack of many storyline details at this moment, fans are still hoping for an enjoyable comedy/horror romp based on the information that is now accessible.

Wendell and Wild’s Release date

On September 11, 2022, Wendell and Wild had its world premiere at the 47th Toronto International Film Festival. Following the screening, we’ll probably hear more news and opinions. The movie will then be available in select theatres on October 21, 2022, and then be available in its entirety on Netflix seven days later, on October 28, 2022. Unsurprisingly, given Jordan Peele’s excellent relationship with the streaming service, Netflix is so involved with the project.

The cast of Wendell and Wild  

In the movie, Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu) plays Wendell, while writer Jordan Peele (Get Out) plays Wild. The two are well-known as the comedy duo Key and Peele, and this movie will undoubtedly succeed thanks to their on- and off-screen connection. In addition to the two actors listed above—Lyric Ross from This is Us and Angela Bassett from Black Panther—who play Kat and Sister Helley, respectively, the film also stars James Hong from Kung Fu Panda and Tamara Smart from A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting. Wendell and Wild‘s ensemble has welcomed several fantastic newcomers, but without a doubt, the comedy series’ biggest draw will be the return of the Key and Peele duo.

The plot of Wendell and Wild  

Wendell and Wild are as a stop-motion fantasy horror comedy, fitting into a specific cross-genre niche. On the one hand, this implies that it won’t have much competition during the Halloween season this year, but on the other, it must carry the torch for an original cross-genre film. Even though animated films have long been popular, a strong narrative is still crucial to their success. The narrative’s importance to Wendell and Wild becomes apparent when the two notions discussed above are put together.

Trailer

We have some concept of how the show will look because a few movie trailers have already been made public. The animation stands out as the caliber of great horror we have grown to enjoy throughout the genre’s affiliation with animation, with indications of Coraline, the final film directed by Henry Selick. In a movie, the previously stated 13-year-old Kat Elliot is seen opening a drawer and discovering a wicked teddy bear, providing a brief preview of the plot. The anticipation following the teaser is undoubtedly great, and it already appears like a lot of fun that can potentially lend itself to family viewing.

On September 6, 2022, Netflix released the first complete teaser trailer for Wendell & Wild, offering us just a glimpse. On October 10, 2022, the entire trailer for Wendell & Wild was released. It provided a sharper preview of the movie and featured James Hong’s voiced Undead Priest and Angela Bassett’s Sister Helley.
