Dakota Fanning will voice the title character in Laika Entertainment’s animated feature Coraline, accounts The Hollywood Reporter, by way of Coming Soon. With Bill Mechanic of Pandemonium Films and Mary Sandell of Laika Entertainment producing, Henry Selick is taking the reigns as writer and director for the picture, which is based on the best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman. Coraline tells the story of “a young girl who discovers an alternate version of her life after walking through a secret door in her new home. On the surface, this parallel reality is similar to her real life, only much better. The adventure turns dangerous, however, when the girl’s counterfeit parents try to keep her forever.”
