No One Will Save You‘s Brian Duffield is attached to write and direct Crumble for LAIKA. The live-action film has Oscar winners Chris Miller and Phil Lord on board to produce along with Lord Miller’s Aditya Sood.
“We’re so excited to partner with Brian and the entire team at Lord Miller on this special film,” said LAIKA’s President, Live Action Film & Series Matt Levin. “Brian has such a singular voice and Crumble perfectly embodies the bold, emotional, and inventive storytelling that we champion at LAIKA. Lord Miller is in a class of its own and we could not ask for a better creative team to bring this story to life.”
Lord Miller’s Lucy Kitada and Nikki Baida are attached as executive producers. Writer/director Duffield serves as a producer.
“We’re so excited to keep collaborating with our friend Brian Duffield who has written a script that is endlessly imaginative, funny, and romantic,” said Chris Miller and Phil Lord. “We have long been fans of LAIKA and Travis Knight’s groundbreaking work in animation and could not be more excited to join forces with them in live action.”
Crumble follows a married couple who go on a world-traversing adventure in the hope of finding a cure to an ancient curse.
“I’ll never forget seeing Coraline on opening night at the AMC Burbank 16 and wondering who these wonderful new geniuses were,” said Duffield. “I can’t wait to make a movie with them and hopefully live up to their banner, and I couldn’t be more excited to get to go on a new adventure with my friends at Lord Miller.”
