Netflix has announced this morning that they’re turning the graphic novel The Witch Boy into an animated musical feature film, which will feature original music by Haim.
The Witch Boy will be directed by Oscar-nominated director Minkyu Lee (Adam and Dog).
“In a secret, magical community where girls are born to be witches and boys grow into shapeshifters, Aster is surprised to discover his emerging and extraordinary witch powers. When a mysterious danger threatens his world, Aster must embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind himself, his powers, and everything that is magical.”
Lee said in a statement, “It has been a life-long dream of mine to create an animated film that pushes the medium forward, both in content and form. The connection between this dream, my experiences, and Aster and Juniper’s story is what draws me to this film every day. I am grateful to be creating this with the wonderful team at Netflix. My hope is that this film, by celebrating queerness and “otherness”, will come to audiences around the world as something truly special.”
The film is based on the NYT best selling graphic novel series of the same title by Molly Knox Ostertag. It will be produced by Vertigo Entertainment and released by Netflix.
Maria Melnik wrote the adaptation.
