What followers are S*P*O*I*L*E*R*S*!

This movie is based on Neil Gaiman's international best-selling book and is written for the movie screen and directed by Henry Selick, who also directed THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. This stop-motion animated adventure is the first to be originally filmed in 3D.

Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) is disgusted and dismayed by her new home until she discovers a secret door behind the headboard of her bed which leads her to a parallel, but altered world. At first, Coraline is intrigued and delighted by the similarities and improvements to her real life, but when this seemingly perfect world begins to unravel at the seams and her "Other" parents (played by Teri Hatcher and John Hodgman) attempt to ensnare her permanently, Coraline must draw on talents she never knew she had to break free and rescue her family. The film will be in Theatres Feb. 6th
