Johnny Depp will be lending his familiar dulcet tones for Paramount Animation’s latest project SHERLOCK GNOMES, a sequel to the Elton John-run Rocket Pictures feature toon hit GNOMEO AND JULIET.
Depp will be playing the titular character alongside returning stars James McAvoy as Gnomeo and Emily Blunt as Juliet. The latest animation feature is being penned by Ben Zazove (REX LIBRIS, CAPTAIN PLANET).
In SHERLOCK GNOMES, a string of garden gnome disappearances occur in London, when Gnomeo and Juliet look to legendary detective Sherlock Gnomes to solve the case.
The movie is being helmed by KUNG FU PANDA director John Stevenson and the movie is scheduled for release on January 12th, 2018.
The producing team behind SHEROCK GNOMES includes Elton John, David Furnish, Steve Hamilton-Shaw and Carolyn Soper, who was the Disney production executive on such titles as TANGLED and PRINCESS AND THE FROG.
