Homeland star Mandy Patinkin to star in animation, The Magician’s Elephant
Actor will feature alongside Benedict Wong, Sian Clifford, Natasia Demetriou, Dawn French and Miranda Richardson in production based on Kate DiCamillo’s award-winning novel
Homeland actor Mandy Patinkin features in an all-star voice cast for Netflix’s stunning animation, The Magician’s Elephant, currently in production.
Based on Kate DiCamillo’s award-winning novel of the same name, the film follows a young boy named Peter (played by The Undoing’s Noah Jupe) who is searching for his long-lost sister, played by Pixie Davies (Mary Poppins Returns) when he crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square.
When Peter asks if his sister is still alive, he is told the answer lies in finding a mysterious elephant and the magician who will conjure it, setting him off on a journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that will change his town forever.
The cast also includes Benedict Wong, Sian Clifford, Natasia Demetriou, Dawn French and Miranda Richardson.
