Exclusive: ‘Coraline’ Alphabet Card
  |  @   |  

Geeks of Doom was given the exclusive artwork for one of 26 alphabet cards for Henry Selick‘s stop-motion-animated Coraline, based on the book by Neil Gaiman.

Most appropriately, we were given the character art for the “G” card for the Coraline-themed alphabet card set, which will be used on trading cards, postings, and other print and online venues to market the Focus Features film, which comes to theaters on February 6, 2009.

Click on the image at right to see the large full-length version of the card’s artwork. Written on the card are the words “Be careful what you wish for.” along with what the “G” stands for.

G is for Ghost Children–who are locked far away
Until someone rescues them, in Other World they must stay.

All 26 cards — each to be revealed today, one card given exclusively to 26 sites around the Web — are completely unique, containing different images, characters, and elements from the film.

Be sure to visit the relaunch official site — coraline.com — to check out the new features, such as a map that takes you to several areas of the young Coraline’s surroundings. One you select an area, you’ll get to watch featurettes based on that location. For instance, in The Garden, there’s a time-lapsed video of the crew assembling this set by hand. It’s truly amazing to watch.

From Henry Selick, visionary director of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book, comes a spectacular stop-motion animated adventure – the first to be originally filmed in 3D!

Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternate version of her life on the other side. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life and the people in it – only much better. But when this seemingly perfect world turns dangerous, and her other parents (including her Other Mother voiced by Teri Hatcher) try to trap her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to escape this increasingly perilous world – and save her family.
