Video · Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara Join Voice Cast for 'Kubo and the Two Strings'

Laika and Focus Features have announced the first film out of their new three-film pact: Kubo and the Two Strings.
The project, set in ancient Japan, features a star-studded voice cast including Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara, Ralph Fiennes and Brenda Vaccaro. Art Parkinson, best known for playing Rickon Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones, will voice the title character of Kubo.
Laika president and CEO Travis Knight will make his directorial debut with the project.
From an original screenplay by ParaNorman’s Marc Haimes and Chris Butler, Kubo and the Two Strings follows kindhearted Kubo who lives a humble life while devotedly caring for his mother in their sleepy shoreside village. But then a spirit from the past catches up with him to enforce an age-old vendetta and suddenly Kubo is on the run from gods and monsters.
