I, Object is an upcoming live-action animated film written and directed by Andrew Niccol.

Premise

A boy struggling to connect with anyone after the death of his father takes fascination with the everyday objects around him, and envisions himself speaking to them.

Cast

Production

It was announced in May 2023 that Andrew Niccol had set the film as his next project, which will be a live action-animation hybrid. Melanie Lynskey, Karl Urban, Thomasin McKenzie and Jemaine Clement were set to star, with production expected to begin later in the year.[1] In January 2024, Anna Faris replaced Lynskey in the film, as Lynskey had to exit due to scheduling conflicts.[2]

Filming commenced in Wellington, New Zealand in January 2024.[3][4]
