Kenneth Branagh To Voice Title Creature in A24’s Raunchy Buddy Comedy Goblin

A24 committed roughly $6 million after a DIY proof-of-concept drew industry attention.

Overview

  • Branagh will provide the voice of the green, anatomically correct goblin in writer-director David Mikalson’s feature.
  • Skyler Gisondo is in talks to play the goblin’s human best friend, according to Deadline.
  • The creature will be portrayed using a practical puppet rather than CGI.
  • The film is described as a raunchy “Ted meets E.T.” buddy comedy.
  • Mikalson advanced the project from a Kentucky proof-of-concept after his script earned representation at WME and Kaplan/Perrone with attorney Chris Abramson.
