Annapurna Pictures has set the official release date for LAIKA's next stop-motion animated film, Missing Link - which stars Hugh Jackman, Zach Galifianakas, and Zoe Saldana.
According to a recent report by Deadline, the upcoming stop-motion animated film will be making its debut on the 19th April of 2019.
This will be the LAIKA's fifth feature-length project, after its past successes - Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, and Kubo and the Two Strings. After his contributions to two previous LAIKA scipts, Academy Award-nominee Chris Butler is both writing and directing Missing Link.
Here's the synopsis for the film:
The charismatic Sir Lionel Frost considers himself to be the world's foremost investigator of myths and monsters. The trouble is none of his small-minded high-society peers seems to recognize this. Sir Lionel's last chance for acceptance by the adventuring elite rests on traveling to America's Pacific Northwest to prove the existence of a legendary creature. A living remnant of Man's primitive ancestry. The Missing Link.
With Missing Link now set to hit U.S. theaters on April 19th of next year, the film will be competing against Disneynature's documentary Penguins, a TBA horror film from Warner Bros., as well as Robert Downey Jr.'s Voyage of Doctor Dolittle.
