What is Elemental about?
The film will revolve around the journeys of an unlikely pair, “Ember and Wade, in a city where fire-, water-, land- and air-residents live together,” reads the synopsis. “The fiery young woman and the go-with-the-flow guy are about to discover something elemental: how much they actually have in common.”
Elemental is directed by Peter Sohn (Partly Cloudy short), whose childhood in New York serves as an inspiration for the film’s story. The screenplay is written by John Hoberg & Kat Likkel and Brenda Hsueh with story by Sohn, Hoberg & Likkel, and Hsueh. The film’s original score was composed and conducted by Thomas Newman. It is produced by Denise Ream (Cars 2), who worked with Sohn in The Good Dinosaur.
The voice cast includes Leah Lewis (The Half of Us) as the fiery Ember; Mamoudou Athie (Jurassic World: Dominion) as the Water-guy Wade; Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs) as Wade’s stormy Air-Ball-loving boss, Gale; Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone) as Wade’s funny-but-tearful mom, Brook; Ronnie del Carmen (Inside Out) as Ember’s father, Bernie Lumen; and more.
