Laika has unveiled a teaser trailer for “Wildwood,” its upcoming stop-motion feature directed by Travis Knight. The trailer is presented at the Cannes film festival, and all three outlets report that the film is scheduled to open nationwide in U.S. theaters on October 23. Laika, the studio known for stop-motion titles including “Coraline” and “ParaNorman,” is also credited as the producer of the new project. Variety adds additional production details beyond the basic release information, stating that “Wildwood” uses a script by Chris Butler and that the film is based on a book by Colin Meloy. Variety also notes that the movie marks Laika’s first film since 2019’s “Missing Link.” Across the sources, the central points are consistent: Laika is promoting “Wildwood” with a newly released teaser, the film is an ambitious handcrafted stop-motion project from Knight, and it is set for an October 23 theatrical release.
