DreamWorks is eyeing some serious star power for its upcoming fantasy animation. According to insider Daniel Richtman, Meet the Gillmans is interested in Lana Condor, Laura Dern, and Michael Sheen to star in the film.

The story centers on Ruby, a typical teenage girl growing up in a seaside town in Florida. Like all teenagers, she’s embarrassed by her family. Only in this case, Ruby has extra reason to be embarrassed, because she’s from a family of… sea monsters. No one in town knows this (the Glimans are “different” but the locals chalk it up to them being from Canada), but poor Ruby is scared to death that someday the truth will come out. If this happened, what would become of her social life? Naturally, the truth comes out, and disaster ensues.
