Comedic duo Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele made a name for themselves off the back of their hilarious concept-driven skits, and this talent for providing viewers with a great hook is something they've also brought with them to the film world.

The concepts of Get Out and Keanu were both highly intriguing (even though the former turned out a lot better quality-wise), and their next feature, Wendell And Wild, looks to continue that trend.

It's a stop-motion animation developed by the team behind Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline, and the gist is that Key and Peele will play a pair of demon brothers who escape the Underworld and suddenly find themselves on Earth, where they have to escape from a monster-hunting teenager called Kat.

The best thing about this whole project is that it's a Netflix release, a company that typically gives its filmmakers a lot of creative freedom - for better or worse. To that end, this won't be your run-of-the-mill supernatural drama, with Key and Peele likely to go full-on lunatic in bringing their stylized fantasy characters to life.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
