Earlier this week we saw Fox’s The Return of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space (in 3D) as one of the number of projects (including The Sims movie?) that Disney has canceled after the acquisition. But now it seems that things are actually looking up for the Chiodo Brothers.
In a Hollywood Reporter interview Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Jungle Book) casually mentioned an animated project with Chiodo Brothers, and it seems it’s a done deal. He said “…even talking to [an outlet] like Quibi about doing short-form stop motion, working with Netflix on a stop-motion Christmas special. I’ve been trying to work with these guys the Chiodo brothers, who did the stop-motion on Elf, it took over 15 years, only because the business model changed.”
Then the brothers let it slip that the special is actually based on their ’15 Christmas picture book ALIEN XMAS.
Nothing says Christmas like marauding aliens who mistake Santa’s workshop fora weapon-building facility.
Color me interested! We don’t know how far along it is, but hopefully we’ll get it this Christmas on Netflix.
