Dave Bautista has another Hollywood project in the works as he will be voicing The Parakeet King in the animated movie “The Boy and the Heron,” which is set to be released in theaters on December 8th.
The movie also features Christian Bale, Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, Mark Hamill, Robert Pattinson, and Florence Pugh.
The film was made in accordance with the SAG-AFTRA Foreign Dubbing Agreement. Here is an excerpt from the article about the movie:
“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.”
