Brad Pitt and Matt Damon to Voice Characters in Happy Feet 2

January 19, 2010 by Rich Leave a Comment

According to Movieline, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon are to provide voices for as yet unknown characters in Happy Feet 2.

Pitt and Damon last worked together on Ocean’s Thirteen, they’re now to link up again however as they lend their voices to the George Miller directed animated film Happy Feet 2 which is due for release on November 28th 2011.

Robin Williams and Elijah Wood will once again be onboard; Miller is seemingly keen to freshen things up a little however and so has added Brad Pitt and Matt Damon to achieve this.

The original Happy Feet film has grossed in excess of $380 million worldwide since its release, and won an Oscar for the Best Animated Feature Film of the Year back in 2007; George Miller will no doubt be hoping that this sequel will be similarly successful.

Brad Pitt and Mike Myers amongst others can be seen in action here, and although we’re shown relatively little in the clip; if you weren’t already excited about seeing this latest film from Quentin Tarantino, there’s a good chance that you will be after watching this.

Here is the extended clip of Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds:

Inglourious Basterds Secures a Summer Release

January 3, 2009 by Rich 1 Comment

Inglourious BasterdsQuentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is to open at the cinemas on August 21st 2009. The film, which stars amongst others Brad Pitt, is split into five chapters and focuses on two converging storylines. One storyline the film follows is about a group of prisoners that have banded together in order to battle a group of Nazis, and the other looks at a Jewish woman with an aim to avenge the death of her parents at the hands of the said Nazi group.

Tarantino, whose last film was Death Proof, is definitely taking a drastic change in direction with his latest film, and it’ll be interesting to see what he makes of this one. Inglourious Basterds is certainly a film with fantastic potential, and it could yet turn out to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer.

Inglourious Basterds
is all set to go head to head with Final Destination 4: Death Trip 3D, and will certainly be one to watch out for this summer. Samuel L. Jackson’s narration will surely be excellent, and I feel that this is definitely something that will add strength and depth to the film.

Tarantino hopes to have Inglourious Basterds finished and ready for showing the Cannes Film Festival in May.
