<Li> Brad Booker as a train conductor </Li> <P> The Book of Life was originally optioned by DreamWorks Animation in 2007, but never went beyond development because of "creative differences". From there the film went to Reel FX, with 20th Century Fox handling distribution rights . The film was initially given a release date of October 10, 2014; however, this was eventually moved back by a week . On October 16, 2013, it was announced that Channing Tatum, Zoe Saldana, Diego Luna and Christina Applegate would star as voice actors in the film . </P> <P> Jorge Gutierrez, co-creator of Nickelodeon's El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, wanted to make the final animation look like the concept artwork saying: "I saw every single one that comes out and my biggest heartbreak is that I see all this glorious art, and then the movie doesn't look like that! The mandate of this movie was: Our' Art of' book is going to look exactly like the movie . And every artist poured their heart and soul into that idea ." Gutierrez did not permit his animation team to go on any research trips to Mexico, feeling that such trips often only covered very touristy aspects of the culture . Instead he had the team address any questions they had about the region to him . </P> <P> The Book of Life made its world premiere in Los Angeles on October 12, 2014 . It was released on October 17, 2014 in North America . </P>
