Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is an upcoming British stop motion animated comedy film produced by the British studio Aardman Animations. A stand-alone sequel to Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), it will be directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, from a screenplay by Mark Burton and a story by Park and Burton, and produced by Claire Jennings.
The film is scheduled for release by BBC Film in the United Kingdom and Netflix everywhere else in 2024.[2]
Premise edit
Gromit's concern that Wallace has become overdependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a "smart gnome" that seems to develop a mind of its own. As events spiral out of control, it falls to Gromit to put aside his qualms and battle sinister forces - or Wallace may never be able to invent again.
Cast edit
- Ben Whitehead as Wallace
- Peter Kay as Chief Inspector Albert Mackintosh
- Lauren Patel
- Reece Shearsmith
Additionally, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh and Lenny Henry will appear in cameo roles.[4]
Production edit
During production of the A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008), Nick Park remarked publicly on difficulties with working with DreamWorks Animation during the production of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), such as the constant production notes and demands to alter the material to appeal more to American children.[5][6] This discouraged him from producing another feature film for years, with Peter Lord noting that Park preferred the "half hour format".[7]
A stand-alone sequel to The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was announced in January 2022, with Park and Merlin Crossingham as directors, from a screenplay by Mark Burton, while Claire Jennings was announced to produce.[2][3]
The factory that made Lewis Newplast, the modeling clay used by Aardman, shut down in March 2023; Aardman purchased enough remaining clay to cover the new Wallace & Gromit film.[8] The Daily Telegraph initially reported that the studio may not be able to produce new films afterwards due to a lack of clay, but Aardman later released a statement clarifying that it would find a new supplier.[9][10]
The film's title was confirmed to be Vengeance Most Fowl on June 6, 2024, alongside the reveal that Feathers McGraw, the antagonist of Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers (1993), would return.[1]
Release edit
The film is due to release in 2024 on Netflix worldwide, except for the UK, where it will debut first on the BBC before also coming to Netflix at a later date.[2][3]
