Following the success of Shaun the Sheep the Movie earlier this year, French studio and distributor StudioCanal is linking up once more with British studios Aardman and four-time Oscar-winner, British animator Nick Park.
Announced Wednesday, Early Man will be a stop-frame feature directed by Park, who picked up BAFTA and Academy awards for his Wallace & Gromit series and Chicken Run.
Produced by Aardman, the film is being co-financed by StudioCanal with the BFI also on board as a partner. Marking Park’s first feature film since Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Early Man has been scripted by Mark Burton and John O’Farrell.
