Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes will provide the voices for two new characters, Lady Tottingham and Lord Victor Quartermaine, in a full-length Wallace and Gromit feature film.
Production has begun on the new adventure, called Curse Of The Wererabbit, according to Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks, which is providing the backing for Nick Park’s Aardman Animation company.
Last Of The Summer Wine regular Peter Sallis will provide the voice of Gromit, as he did in Park’s short films about the inventor and his dog.
The film, which is expected to take 18 months to complete, will be Park’s second big screen animation, following Chicken Run in 2000.
