DreamWorks Illuminates 2024 Film ‘Orion and The Dark’

DreamWorks Animation and Netflix have recently unveiled exciting details about their highly anticipated 2024 animated feature, ‘Orion and The Dark.’ The film, based on a script by renowned Oscar-winning writer Charlie Kaufman (known for his work on ‘Adaptation,’ ‘Being John Malkovich,’ ‘Anomalisa,’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’), is directed by Sean Charmatz (‘The LEGO Movie: The Second Part’) and produced by Peter McCown (‘Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous’). Executive produced by Walt Dohrn and Bonnie Arnold, the CG-animated movie draws inspiration from the captivating book penned by Emma Yarlett.

The official synopsis provides a glimpse into the intriguing narrative:

Orion, on the surface, appears to be your typical elementary school kid – shy, unassuming, with a secret crush. However, beneath this seemingly ordinary exterior, Orion grapples with a whirlwind of adolescent anxiety, plagued by irrational fears encompassing everything from bees and dogs to the ocean, cell phone waves, murderous gutter clowns, and even the fear of falling off a cliff. Yet, the most formidable fear Orion faces is the nightly terror of the dark.

When Dark, the literal embodiment of Orion’s deepest fear, pays him a visit, the narrative takes an unexpected turn. Dark whisks Orion away on a captivating roller coaster ride around the world, aiming to prove that there is nothing to fear in the night. As the unlikely pair embarks on this adventure, a bond forms between Orion and Dark. Now faced with a choice, Orion must decide whether he can learn to embrace the unknown, cease allowing fear to control his life, and ultimately discover the joy of living.

The stellar cast contributing to this cinematic journey features Jacob Tremblay, known for his remarkable performances in films such as ‘Room’ and ‘Wonder,’ as the voice of Orion. Alongside him is Paul Walter Hauser, acclaimed for his roles in ‘I, Tonya’ and ‘Richard Jewell,’ lending his voice to the character of Dark.

This heartwarming and imaginative tale promises to captivate audiences with its exploration of overcoming fears, the joy of embracing the unknown, and the transformative power of friendship.
