It was only yesterday that we reported on the possible collaboration between animation studio Laika and motion magician Henry Selick. Laika had apparently picked up Selick’s dropped Disney project (the original article states the name as SHADEMAKER, but new reports say it was called THE SHADOW KING) but that is to be no more.
After the news was posted worldwide, a memo was sent out (via Selick’s company Cinderbiter) saying that, unfortunately, budgeting couldn’t be figured out and the production has had to be stopped.
Time will only tell whether THE SHADOW KING/SHADEMAKER will ever come to fruition, but as a fan of Laika and Selick – together and apart – I certainly hope so!

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
