Netflix released the first image for its upcoming animated feature Orion and the Dark, starring Jacob Tremblay and Paul Walter Hauser.
The Big Picture This week marks Netflix's annual Geeked Week event, taking place through Sunday, November 12. During the event, the streamer is revealing first looks, behind the scenes exclusives, updates, and more on a slew of original television and film content. Today, Netflix released a first look image at its upcoming adaptation of Orion and the Dark, which is heading soon to the streamer.
Hailing from DreamWorks Animation, Orion and the Dark centers on its title character, Orion , an elementary school child. To most, Orion seems like other kids his age. He's "shy, unassuming, harboring a secret crush." What others don't see is that Orion struggles with anxiety, consumed by fear for a variety of things like "bees, dogs, the ocean, cell phone waves, murderous gutter clowns, and even falling off of a cliff.
The new image features what appears to be Dark's initial visit to Orion. Dark makes an attempt to be a friendly force for Orion, but with such a large presence, it comes off as much more terrifying — which certainly doesn't help Orion's fear. Meanwhile, Orion backs up as far as he can with Dark looming over him. His expression matches his general feeling about Dark, a mesh of fear and worry.
Who Worked on 'Orion and the Dark'? And What Is It Based On? Orion and the Dark is adapted from Emma Yarlett's book of the same name. The screenplay was written by Sean Charmatz and directed by Charlie Kaufman . Peter McCown produces, with Walt Dohrn and Bonnie Arnold as executive producers.Read Orion and the Dark
