Annapurna Pictures have announced that Missing Link, the fifth feature film from Academy Award-nominated LAIKA (Kubo and the Two Strings, The Boxtrolls, ParaNorman, and Coraline) will arrive in theaters on April 19, 2019.
In the film, Zach Galifianakis is Mr. Link: the slightly silly, surprisingly smart and soulful beast who is the last living remnant of Man’s primitive ancestry, the Missing Link.
LAIKA’s head of production and Oscar nominee Arianne Sutner (ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings) is producing with Knight, who earned an Academy Award nomination and BAFTA win for his directorial debut on Kubo.
Bursting with humor, heart, and a profound message of acceptance and finding one’s place, Missing Link is written and directed by Oscar nominee Chris Butler (ParaNorman).
