Critics Choice Awards winner Cristin Milioti (The Penguin) will play mom to Simu Liu’s dad in Netflix’s animated adventure In Your Dreams. Milioti is one of the latest actors to join the production, joining Liu and Craig Robinson, who were previously announced to lend their voices to the family-friendly film.
New cast members also include Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Elias Janssen, Gia Carides, Omid Djalili, SungWon Cho, and Zachary Noah Piser.
“In Your Dreams is a comedy adventure about Stevie and her brother Elliot who journey into the absurd landscape of their own dreams,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “If the siblings can withstand a snarky stuffed giraffe, zombie breakfast foods, and the queen of nightmares, the Sandman will grant them their ultimate dream come true…the perfect family.”
Alex Wood is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Erik Benson. Benson is co-directing.
“When I started this film, I set out to tell a heartfelt story that explored the magical and often hilariously absurd world of dreams,” said Wood. “What I didn’t expect was how memorable and emotional the performances were going to be. I guess that’s what happens when you’re lucky enough to work with such an extraordinary cast!”
Wood added, “Cristin is an EGOT-level talent. She can sing. She can act. I haven’t seen her dance, but I’m sure she could give Ginger Rogers a run for her money. You believe every performance Cristin gives, and that’s every director’s dream come true.
Jolie and Elias are the heart and soul of this movie. They truly carry the film, which is remarkable for any actor, but even more so for performers their age. Each recording session felt like playtime, and I hope audiences have as much fun watching the film as we had making it.”
Timothy Hahn and Gregg Taylor are on board as producers. John Debney is writing the music.
“As someone whose worldview was heavily influenced by the animation I devoured as a kid, I’m excited to be a part of Alex Woo’s moving and tender film,” said Milioti, commenting on the casting announcement.
Netflix is targeting a fall 2025 premiere.
