One movie I'm really looking forward to is "Aliens vs Monsters" a 2009 CGI 3-D animated movie from Dreamworks. I'd heard a little about this last month but learnt a lot more about it today during a meeting with Vivid Imaginations (the company that will be running the entire toy line, who also do WWE figures, Fifi and the future JJ Abrams Star Trek products).
The film attempts to reinvent the classic 1950’s monster B-movie but this time it will be in "true digital 3-D" which will dispose of the need for the red and green cardboard glasses used in classic 3-D cinemas. Directed by Rob Letterman (director of "Shark Tale") and Conrad Vernon (a seasoned storyboard artist and voice actor who has worked on Shrek, Madagascar and Flushed Away to name but a few) M vs A tells the story of a group of monsters who have been captured and held at "Area-52" and are called into action when an alien attacks Earth and they are found to be the only ones who can stop it.
This actually looks like a great little movie and has an all-star voice cast which consists of:
# Reese Witherspoon - Susan Murphy/ Ginormica
# Rainn Wilson - the evil alien Gallaxhar
# Hugh Laurie - Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.
# Seth Rogen - the jellylike B.O.B.
# Will Arnett - the half-ape, half-fish Missing Link
# Kiefer Sutherland - General W.R. Monger
# Stephen Colbert - The President
Below is the highly secretive leaked footage of the trailer which raises my anticipation a few notches higher! One to take the kids to then!
