GULF WEEKLY-
An animated fantasy adventure comedy in which a young boy faces his fear of the night is set to hit Netflix this weekend.
To be released digitally on February 2, Orion and the Dark, produced by DreamWorks, has been directed by Sean Charmatz and written by Charlie Kaufman.
The official synopsis for the movie, based on a children’s book of the same name by Emma Yarlett, reads: “Orion seems a lot like your average elementary school kid – shy, unassuming, harbouring a secret crush.
“But underneath his seemingly normal exterior, Orion is a ball of adolescent anxiety, completely consumed by irrational fears of bees, dogs, the ocean, cell phone waves, murderous gutter clowns, and even falling off of a cliff.
“But of all his fears, the thing he’s the most afraid of is what he confronts on a nightly basis: the Dark.
“So when the literal embodiment of his worst fear pays a visit, the Dark whisks Orion away on a roller coaster ride around the world to prove there is nothing to be afraid of in the night.”
Orion is voiced by Jacob Tremblay, with Colin Hanks as the adult version of the character, while Paul Walter Hauser voices Dark.
