A Sky Original’s “The Amazing Maurice” is a computer-animated fantasy-comedy film directed by Toby Genkel (Ooops! Noah is Gone…) and Florian Westermann, who is making his directorial debut Westermann and is from a screenplay by Terry Rossio (Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest).
Get ready once again to gamble into the distinct humor as this upcoming movie is based on one of the late Sir Terry Pratchett’sbest-selling children’s novels, ‘The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents’, which was published by Doubleday in 2001and has sold nearly 90 million books worldwide.
Pratchett’s winning of Carnegie Medal was the proudest award. However, it was his 28th novel in the wildly popular Discworld series, but the first written for children. The Discworld series is an enormous shared universe with a collection of all types of crazy and funny tales. This movie marks the 20th Anniversary of the book and is specifically targeted toward the young adult audience.
Coming to Sky Cinema in 2022, this film is inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ fairytale about the Pied Piper of Hamelin and a parody of the folk tale genre. The cat and Keith, a young pipe player, lead a gang of rats from town-to-town, replicating rat invasions perfectly until their cheat is revealed.
First announced in 2019, Sky has dropped first-look character images and teaser posters for The Amazing Maurice. The Amazing Maurice is an entertaining and lively adventure that looks a little taken aback by human interaction. As per its name, the movie revolves around a streetwise gingertom cat named Maurice, who has the perfect money-making scam.
Mauricebefriendsa dumb-looking kid who plays a pipe and his very own gang of strangely literate, talking rats– so Maurice cannot consider them as ‘lunch.’ As we all know the story of rats and pipers; when Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of Bad Blintz, they came across a bookworm named Malicia and their little con soon goes down the drain as something terrible is waiting for them in the cellars.
Now, It’s no longer a game. In a world where rats devour rats, educated rats must learn to embrace a new term, i.e., EVIL. Undoubtedly, The Amazing Maurice is set to be a must-watch for animated movies fans.
The Amazing Maurice is co-produced by Sky, Ulysses Filmproduktion, and Cantilever Media. The voice cast is full of A-list actors, including Hugh Laurie (House, M.D.), who will play the title character. He is joined by Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), David Tennant (Doctor Who), David Thewlis (Harry Potter film series), Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Gemma Arterton (The King’s Man), Rob Brydon (Holmes & Watson), and Himesh Patel (Yesterday).
