Since wrapping up their eponymous sketch comedy series, Keegan Michael-Key and Jordan Peele have been forging successful careers, with Key cropping up in a variety of movies and Peele going on to Oscar success with Get Out. They're putting their talents back together for a new stop-motion film from Coraline's Henry Selick.

Netflix is backing the new movie, Wendell And Wild, which Selick has been dreaming up for a while and the actors signed on to help develop in 2015. The film will feature a couple of scheming demon brothers voiced by Key and Peele who must face off against their nemesis, the demon-dusting nun Sister Helly, and her two acolytes, the goth teens Kat and Raoul.

Peele is also working on the script with Selick and Clay McLeod Chapman, which is also being turned into a book for publication around the time the film hits the streaming service. Also involved is Argentinian artist Pablo Lobato, who will whip up designs for the characters.

There's no word on the release date for this one yet, but we're just happy to have Selick making movies again after some frustrating time setting projects up only to see them vanish, and the idea of Key and Peele as squabbling brothers certainly has an appeal.
