Early Man is an upcoming British stop-motion animated comedy film directed by Nick Park and written by Mark Burton and John O'Farrell. The lead character, Dug, will be voiced by Eddie Redmayne.

Plot

Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of Dug (Eddie Redmayne), along with sidekick Hognob, who unites his tribe against the mighty Bronze Age in a battle to beat them at their own game, resulting in becoming the very first game of European football.[3]

Production

On 6 May 2015 it was announced that StudioCanal would finance the $50 million budgeted stop-motion animated film Early Man and would handle its sales.[5] It would re-team StudioCanal with Aardman Animations and Nick Park, about a caveman who traces the world's first game of soccer.[5] On 9 May 2016, while the film was in-production, the studio released its first image and revealed that Eddie Redmayne would provide the lead voice for character Dug.[4][6] The British Film Institute is also a partner on the film.[7]
