“ParaNorman” Writer/Directors Talk About the Movie
Independent Films, Movie Reviews, Interviews
I fell in love with “ParaNorman!” It’s quite refreshing to see a summer movie that’s totally original – not based on anything previously created. The film began with writer/director Chris Butler who imagined a good, old fashioned creature feature. Soon, Sam Fell stepped in and the dynamic duo crafted one of the best animated films of 2012.
In this interview, we talked about:
*** The inspiration behind “ParaNorman”
*** The film’s 80s vibe
*** Working together as the film’s directors
***Why embrace the stop-motion art form?
Have fun!

Synopsis
When a small town comes under siege by zombies, who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.
