An acclaimed animated fantasy film has assembled an impressive ensemble of Academy Award-winning talent for its voice cast. Javier Bardem, Marion Cotillard, and Vanessa Redgrave have joined the project “The Turning Door,” which will be written and directed by Nicholas Ashe Bateman. This announcement expands a roster that already includes Alicia Vikander, Jamie Dornan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Bill Nighy, and Gillian Anderson, along with composer Anna von Hausswolff and emerging performer Pippa Kelly.
The fantasy adventure follows a young girl who discovers a mysterious container in her parents’ home that transforms into a doorway to an enchanted realm called The Turning. Her journey through this magical world requires her to navigate extraordinary challenges and encounters to eventually find her way back and rescue her family. The cast will perform musical numbers composed by Claire Givens and Bateman specifically for the film.
Bateman expressed profound appreciation for the cast, describing them as iconic artists who have brought their exceptional talents and worldviews to the production. Production is currently in progress, with the film having been introduced to potential international distributors ahead of upcoming market screenings. Mister Smith Entertainment is managing worldwide sales rights for the project, which is being produced by a team that previously collaborated on “The Wanting Mare” and other independent films.
