Star-studded cast of The Twits adaptation unveiled
The animation is set for the screen in 2025.
The Twits, based on British author Roald Dahl’s 1980 children’s novel, will feature characters voiced by Margo Martindale, Johnny Vegas, Natalie Portman and Emilia Clarke.
The adaptation, set for the screen in 2025, was billed as “chock-full of the Twits’ beloved tricks” during the Next On Netflix: Animation Preview event in Los Angeles on Thursday.
It will see the “meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world” rise to power in their town, forcing two orphans and a family of magical animals to step in to save the town, themed around the “never-ending battle between cruelty and empathy”.
The all-star cast, featuring US actress Martindale, British comedian Vegas, Black Swan star Portman and Game Of Thrones’ Clarke, was announced on Thursday.
Appearing on a video message, British actress Clarke joked that director Phil Johnston tricked her into becoming involved in the project.
