Anna Kendrick's believes in the ParaNorman
Anna Kendrick decided to be picky about movie choices after her 2010 Oscar nomination for Up in the Air. But she soon discovered the subsequent unemployment wasn't working.
So, the 27-year-old went from one extreme to the other. Now, Kendrick has roles in seven upcoming films
"I think I made too many movies last year," said the perky Kendrick, smirking at her understatement in a Four Seasons hotel suite. "I came off Up in the Air a little gun shy about doing other things, but then I started realizing the point of this is to have fun, so I stopped worrying about my films fitting into some perfect plan."
As luck and timing would have it, one of her assignment's was a dream come true. That's doing a voice in an animated movie, which turned out to be ParaNorman, which opens in Canada and the U. S. on Aug. 17.
In the 3-D comedy, which blends stop motion, puppetry and CGI, Kendrick brings to life Courtney, the teen sister of Norman (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a misunderstood boy who talks to dead people in his New England town.
When the kid discovers the village might be in jeopardy because of a centuries-old witch's curse, he mobilizes a group of teens to save the day as they battle zombies, ghouls and supernatural demons.
Norman's posse includes his chubby buddy Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), Neil's muscular brother Mitch (Casey Affleck), the school's bully Alvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and Courtney.
Grownups appear now and again but mostly for comic relief. Norman's mother (Leslie Mann) is cute but unaware. His dad (Jeff Garlin) is a meat-and-potatoes non-believer. Norman's ghostly grandmother (Elaine Stritch) seems bemused by it all. Only the loony Mr. Prenderghast (John Goodman) knows what Norman knows.
The Laiki Studios' production is the same in theme and tone as its inaugural 2009 movie, Coraline, which blended the macabre with merriment in an entertainment designed for kids of all ages.
"They called me out of the blue," recalled Kendrick. "I almost said, 'Yes,' without reading the script."
Indeed, ParaNorman co-directors Chris Butler and Sam Fell couldn't imagine an actress better suited to play the needy, mood-swinging but likable Courtney.
"Anna has this playfulness we really enjoyed," Fell said. Added Butler: "She also has this great voice that allows her to turn her emotions on a dime."
