Aardman and Studio Canal have announced that Eddie Redmayne is set to lend his voice talents to Nick Park’s new prehistoric comedy adventure Early Man as the voice of Dug.
“Not only is Eddie a joy to work with, his versatility and boundless energy have really helped to bring my new character to life,” states Nick Park. ” He embodies the cheeky charm, fun and plucky wit of Dug and I’m sure he’ll get along brilliantly with Dug’s sidekick Hognob.”
Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, EARLY MAN tells the story of how plucky caveman Dug, along with sidekick Hognob (also pictured) unites his tribe against the mighty Bronze Age in a battle to beat them at their own game.
Early Man is Nick Park’s first feature film since Wallace and Gromit: The curse of the Were-Rabbit, and has been written by screenwriter Mark Burton.
