We spoke w/ HenrySelick about 'Wendell & Wild,’ the freedom Netflix gave him, and collaborating with JordanPeele at TIFF22 Selick also delved into his past films, possible future projects, and the continued impact of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’
Stop-motion giant Henry Selick is back in the limelight. The Coraline and Nightmare Before Christmas director came to the Toronto International Film Festival to show off his latest film for Netflix, Wendell & Wild, a blend of fantasy, comedy, and horror in a similar vein to some of his best work.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Featuring a reunion of the classic comedic duo Key & Peele, Wendell & Wild stars Keegan-Michael Key and Peele as the nefarious demonic brothers Wendell and Wild respectively. The brothers get the help of a 13-year-old Kat Elliot to summon themselves to the land of the living only to face off against their greatest foe, the demon-busting nun Sister Helley .
Selick spent much of the discussion breaking down the process behind Wendell & Wild, from the tireless work on animation which featured plenty of nightmarish shots to set up to the second-guessing that inevitably set in as he spent more time on the project. He also hit on the graciousness of Netflix to give him the freedom to create what he wanted, a decision that made the film possible in the first place.
