Other titles Netflix will preview include 'Arcane,' 'Spellbound,' 'That Christmas,' 'The Twits,' and 'Big Mouth.'
Annecy’s work-in-progress panels are always hugely popular with festival guests, and this year, Netflix is hosting one for its upcoming holiday feature “ That Christmas.” The film’s writer, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Richard Curtis (“Four Weddings and A Funeral,” “Love Actually”), will be in attendance for the pitch, joined by director Simon Otto (“How to Train Your Dragon”), producer Nicole Hearon, and production designer Justin Hutchinson-Charburn. Last year, Netflix was the exclusive distributor of Aardman Animations’ stop-motion sequel “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget,” which appeared on the streamer’s top 10 most-watched English-language films list for four consecutive weeks after its release. Set to release during the 2024 holiday season, the film features a stacked voice cast including Brian Cox, Fiona Shaw, Jodie Whittaker, Lolly Adefope, Alex Macqueen, Katherine Parkinson, Sindhu Vee, India Brown, Zazie Hayhurst, Sienna Sayer, Jack Wisniewski, Rosie Cavaliero, Paul Kaye, Guz Khan, Andy Nyman, Kuhu Agarwal, Bronte Smith, Freddie Spry, and Ava Talbot, with Bill Nighy, and Rhys Darby.
