· 2 pulledI think that the stop-motion and what they've done, their hope and ambition is very cinematic. It can be both big scale and very intimate, and with the script they have developed, I think it's extraordinary. I want to see that movie and I want to be in that movie.
I'm very excited to move forward and have the opportunity to play the role, to be a part of it. It will be something very special to bring to the world.
