Charlie Kaufman, the screenwriter behind 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind',
brings us 'Orion and the Dark', an animated film that promises to be an emotional rollercoaster. Jacob Tremblay voices Orion, a schoolboy with childlike fears who faces his
greatest terror: the darkness.
Paul Walter Hauser, the voice of the darkness, takes Orion on an adventure to overcome his fears, from sinister clowns to unexplained noises. Veterans Angela Bassett and Werner Herzog add their vocal talent, giving the movie a special touch.
The plot revolves around the comedic struggle between light and darkness, as Orion learns to control his fears and embrace the joy of living. A powerful message for all.
Directed by Sean Charmatz, this DreamWorks Animation and Netflix production, releasing on February 2, invites us to an illustrated and animated journey set in 90s Philadelphia.
Kaufman, always true to his style, brings us an animated existential crisis.
