Mega-star munchkin Dakota Fanning will voice the title character in animated feature Coraline, the story of a young girl who discovers a parallel version of her life after walking through a secret door in her house. The alternate reality initially seems like an improved version of her own life, but turns sinister when her parallel parents try to force her to stay.
The film, based on a story by Neil Gaiman, will be directed by Henry Selick, the model mover behind The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.
