Produktbeschreibung
Dark Crystal meets About a Boy in a thrilling race against the clock to save the world in this nostalgia-infused adventure!
Jack Corman is failing at life.
Jobless, jaded and on the wrong side of thirty, hes facing the threat of eviction from his London flat while reeling from the sudden death of his father, one-time film director Bob Corman. Back in the eighties, Bob poured his heart and soul into the creation of his 1986 puppet fantasy The Shadow Glass, a film Jack loved as a child, idolising its fox-like hero Dune.
But The Shadow Glass flopped on release, deemed too scary for kids and too weird for adults, and Bob became a laughing stock, losing himself to booze and self-pity. Now, the film represents everything Jack hated about his father, and he lives with the fear that hell end up a failure just like him.In the wake of Bobs death, Jack returns to his decaying home, a place creaking with movie memorabilia and painful memories. Then, during a freak thunderstorm, the puppets in the attic start talking. Tipped into a desperate real-world quest to save London from the more nefarious of his fathers creations, Jack teams up with excitable fanboy Toby and spiky studio executive Amelia to navigate the labyrinth of his fathers legacy while conjuring the hero withinand igniting a Shadow Glass resurgence that could, finally, do his father proud.
