While no release date has been set just yet, Deadline reports that Shout! Studios and Blue Fox “sets the film for a strategic rollout across multiple platforms, beginning with a theatrical launch timed for Halloween.” That might make this another great gateway horror entry for the whole family this spooky season.
The animated reimagining of Wilde’s short story tells “of a modern American family that moves to their recently purchased country home, Canterville Chase in England, only to find it is haunted by a ghost.

We asked Den Of Geek’s writers to recommend brilliant comedy shows that deserve to have more of a fuss made about them. Here they are...
Banging a drum about stuff we love is more or less our remit on Den Of Geek - hence what many readers have started referring to as the ‘inexplicably regular' appearance of Statham, squirrels and Harold Bishop from Neighbours on these pages.
To that end then, we asked our writers which comedy shows (past and present, UK or otherwise, on TV, radio, or online…) deserved more praise, and here are the ones they chose. You might already like them too, or you might discover something new to dig out and enjoy. That’s the fun of it.
Please note that this list isn’t ranked in any order, nor is it exhaustive. It’s compiled from the opinions of a group of different people,...

Tonight (Tuesday, April 22) sees that rarest of beasts get an outing on ITV4 - a British animated series aimed exclusively at adults.
Warren United - co-created by Men Behaving Badly's Simon Nye and featuring the voice of BAFTA winner Darren Boyd - is a new animated sitcom about family, football and the passion of being a fan.
"While Warren United focuses on a bloke who's crazy about football, it's really about passion," said co-executive producer Henry Normal. "Football's about human stories - we've tried to capture that."
The first of six Warren United episodes airs tonight at 9pm, but could the series be at the forefront of an animation revolution in the UK?
On April 1, a new tax break for the UK animation industry went into effect, with many predicting a boost for UK-based production - but will that be enough to reverse the long-floundering fortunes of adult animation in Great Britain?...

The ever-enigmatic and brilliant pairing of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie will be reuniting once more!
The duo have been working together for decades, starring not only alongside each other in Blackadder, but bringing us their own programmes in the form of A Bit of Fry and Laurie (1987-1995) and Jeeves and Wooster (1990-1993).
Fry has taken to Twitter to announce that he and Laurie will be working together again to lend their voices to Melmoth Films’ animated production of Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost, currently in pre-production, being developed with the assistance of the BFI.
The film is an adaptation of Wilde’s original short story, first published in 1887.
Kim Burden (Stressed Eric) is directing from a script co-written by frequent collaborators Giles New and Keiron Self (That Mitchell and Webb Look), with Sprout Pictures (co-owned by Fry) co-producing with Hibbert Ralph.
The first promo image Fry tweeted...
