Freddy the 13th Deadline reports Dan Trachtenberg is attached to direct an animated “horror-based” family comedy at Paramount adapting Freddy the 13th, a graphic novel by Yehudi Mercado. The story follows “the trials and tribulations of the hapless Freddy Vanwinkle, the thirteenth son of a thirteenth-born son who fails at everything in contrast to his brilliant siblings. One night, while looking after his nephew and niece Logan and Lola, he accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night and automatically inherits the mantle of the monster. With rival killers emerging out of the shadows, Freddy has thirteen nights to break the curse.” According to the outlet, Paramount Animation is “pitching the feature as a PG-rated horror” film “delivering scares and laughs to the whole family.” Not Alone Deadline also reports Timothée Chalamet, Selena Gomez, Rob Brydon, Diane Morgan, Jamie Demetriou, Brett Goldstein, Allison Janney, and Lamorne Morris will lend their voices to Not Alone, an animated sci-fi family film at Illumination. The project is said to star Chalamet as Joe, “an introverted rocket mechanic who lives a quiet life alone,” opposite Gomez as Fran, “a brilliant astro-botanist who is developing the world’s first-ever plant-fueled rocket.” The synopsis reads: “When Joe and Fran are brought together to prepare for the inaugural launch of this revolutionary rocket, there are immediate sparks, but neither is particularly adept at romance. Life becomes more complicated when three aliens—tiny, unruly and adorable—take refuge in Joe’s home. Dunk, Welly, and Shirm are on the interplanetary run from a zealous-yet-inept officer of the law named Zandro. The aliens determine that Fran’s rocket could provide their means of getting back home to safety.”
