M3GAN 2.0 star Violet McGraw has found her next horror project. She will unveil the short film The Littles this fall in New York Comic Con, and The Hollywood Reporter has the first teaser.
Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars) and Dominic Sherwood (Shadowhunters) also star in the film, which kicks off when 11-year-old Juliet (McGraw) stubs her toe on a loose floorboard. Per the logline, “she unwittingly sets off a series of mysterious events. A faint noise and an unusual glow seeping through the cracks capture her curiosity. But as she investigates, Juliet finds herself pulled into a chilling, otherworldly encounter – one that will unravel the secrets of her home and alter her reality forever.”

The Littles hails from filmmaker Andrew Duplessie, the author of the novel Too Scared to Sleep who has worked as a producer on American Horror Stories. It features a mix of live-action and stop-motion animation from Anthony Scott, one of the animators on Tim Burton’s a Nightmare Before Christmas.
Music on The Littles is by Cornel Wilczek (Talk to Me), VFX by Edward Douglas (The Monkey), sound foley from Eugenio Battaglia (Longlegs), puppeteering by Katy Struz (Beetlejuice), and is editing by Justin Li (Heretic).
