The Hollywood Reporter announces that DreamWorks has set the main cast for their upcoming film Me & My Shadow. Josh Gad, Bill Hader, and Kate Hudson have signed on to star. “Conceived in-house as an original film, Shadow centers on Stan, a shadow (Hader) who yearns for a more exciting life than being attached to a timid human named Stanley Grubb (Gad). When a crime in the shadow community puts both of their lives in danger, Stan is forced to take control of Stanley, thrusting both of them into an adventure featuring a shadowy villain, who intends to lead a rebellion to take over the human world. Hudson will voice Grubb’s potential love interest in the real world.” The CG/traditional animation film is being directed by Alessandro Carloni (head of story How to Train Your Dragon), with a screenplay by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember based on a draft by Steve Bencich and Ron J. Friedman (Brother Bear, Chicken Little, Open Season).
