Meet the ancestors of Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run and Shaun the Sheep in this first trailer for Early Man.

Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of courageous caveman hero Dug (Eddie Redmayne) and his best friend Hognob as they unite his tribe against a mighty enemy Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston) and his Bronze Age City to save their home.

Currently in production in Bristol, Hiddleston and Maisie Williams (Goona) will be joined by Timothy Spall, Richard Ayoade, Selina Griffiths, Johnny Vegas, Mark Williams, Gina Yashere, Simon Greenall and Richard Webber playing characters from the Bronze Age city.

He has just ended a busy year by playing Aung San Suu Kyi's husband in a lush biopic. But is David Thewlis actually dreaming of being the next Buñuel?

When Marsan arrives here safely, we are relieved to learn he is a sensibly happy man. And as he shares his story with us, he articulately reveals how he has made his own luck by driving his career forward, thank you very much.It's not that he hasn’t been noticeable to hawk-eyed observers long before this film's October release in the U.S. This year alone he appeared as the cozy but slightly self-absorbed father in Paul Weiland's Sixty-Six, then had a world-class shoving contest with Will Smith in Hancock.
