Premise[edit]

A boy struggling to connect with anyone after the death of his father takes fascination with the everyday objects around him, and envisions himself speaking to them.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

It was announced in May 2023 that Andrew Niccol had set the film as his next project, which will be a live action-animation hybrid. Melanie Lynskey, Karl Urban, Thomasin McKenzie and Jemaine Clement were set to star, with production expected to begin later in the year.[1] In January 2024, Anna Faris replaced Lynskey in the film, as Lynskey had to exit due to scheduling conflicts.[2]

Filming commenced in Wellington, New Zealand in January 2024.[3][4]
