Dave Bautista has another Hollywood project in the works.
On Tuesday, Variety reported that he will voice act in the animated movie “The Boy and the Heron,” where he plays The Parakeet King.
He joins Christian Bale, Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, Mark Hamill, Robert Pattinson, and Florence Pugh in the movie.
The movie was “made in alignment with the SAG-AFTRA Foreign Dubbing Agreement.” Here is an excerpt from the article that details the story of the film:
“This semi-autobiographical story follows a 12-year-old boy named Mahito Maki. After the death of his mother during a fire-bombing, Mahito is sent by his father, Shoichi to live with his aunt, Natsuko, in a remote country house reminiscent of that in “My Neighbor Totoro” (1988). Mahito begins spotting a heron around and follows the heron through a tunnel. After emerging from the tunnel into a grand hall, Mahito sees an illusion of his mother. With the heron, Mahito explores an imaginative wonderland, “a world shared by the living and dead.”
The movie is slated to be released in theaters on December 8th.
