Synopsis:

In the comedy thriller, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman, who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst of all, moronic grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.

The film stars the voices of Kodi Smit-McPhee (Let Me In, The Road), Casey Affleck (Paradise Lost), Tempestt Bledsoe (The Cosby Show), Jeff Garlin (Wall-E), John Goodman (Monsters, Inc.), Bernard Hill (Lord of the Rings), Anna Kendrick (Twilight), Leslie Mann (Knocked Up), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (How To Train Your Dragon) and Elaine Stritch (30 Rock).

ParaNorman directed by Chris Butler (Corpse Bride, Coraline) and Sam Fell (The Tale of Despereaux, Flushed Away) is slated to hit theaters on August 17th, 2012.
