Kate Hudson, Josh Gad and Bill Hader Join DreamWorks Animation's ME AND MY SHADOW

Kate Hudson, Josh Gad and Bill Hader joined the voice cast of DreamWorks Animation's Me and My Shadow. The movie will be Alessandro Carloni‘s feature directorial debut while Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember are writing the screenplay.

The hilarious chemistry between Josh Gad, Bill Hader and Kate Hudson couldn't be more exciting to watch as they bring to life our trio of lead characters in Me & My Shadow”

said DreamWorks Animation Chief Creative Officer Bill Damaschke.

“Alessandro has proven to be a creative genius at DreamWorks Animation for over a decade and we look forward with a huge amount of enthusiasm as he takes on his feature film directing debut with us.” “I cannot begin to express my excitement over the opportunity to direct Me & My Shadow, an original movie that makes innovative use of both cutting edge CGI technology and time-honored animated techniques in an inventive new way,”

added Carloni. Me & My Shadow reveals the once secret world of shadows and their human counterparts. Stan (Bill Hader), our hero's shadow, yearns for a more exciting life but happens to be stuck with Stanley Grubb (Josh Gad), a timid guy with an extreme aversion to adventure. When a crime in the shadow world puts both of their lives in danger, Stan is forced to take control of Stanley. They go on a madcap adventure to investigate the crime and stop the shadow villain from leading a rebellion where shadows take over the human world. During this adventure, Stan empowers Stanley to let go of his fears and embrace life. Through their adventure, they both learn that one cannot be whole without a true friend. Kate Hudson will voice Stanley's possible love interest. It's still unknown when production may begin but Me and My Shadow comes to theaters November 13th, 2013.
