Underdog

August 3rd 2007 15:18

Underdog is a film slated for release on August 3, 2007 featuring the super-powered cartoon character of the same name. The Australian release date is August 20th. The UK release date is January 18th, 2008. Several other characters share names with characters from the cartoon, though it is unclear whether other similarities exist. It is produced by Spyglass Entertainment and Classic Media and will be distributed theatrically in the United States by Walt Disney Pictures. The titular dog will be played by a real dog with computer-generated imagery (CGI) enhancements. The movie started filming in Providence, Rhode Island in March of 2006. This film is specifically based on comic book number 18 of the Underdog comics.

A laboratory accident gives an ordinary beagle named Shoeshine Boy (voiced by Jason Lee) unparalleled superpowers, including the ability to speak with a human voice. He is soon befriended and adopted by a lonely 12-year-old boy named Jack (Alex Neuberger). The two develop an even greater bond when the boy learns of the dog’s incredible powers and secret identity as the crime-fighting pooch named Underdog. Dressed in his very own superhero outfit, Underdog flies over Capitol City, protecting its citizens from unforeseen tragedies and keeping a close eye in particular on a beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named “Sweet” Polly Purebred (voiced by Amy Adams). When the dastardly, mad scientist named Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage) and his overgrown henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton) threaten to destroy the city, Underdog, truly “man’s best friend,” may be the citizens’ only hope.

There is a post-credits scene, with following during the end credits and after the end credits.

His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass

July 23rd 2007 14:19

His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, or His Dark Materials: Northern Lights in the UK, is a forthcoming film based upon Northern Lights, the first novel in Philip Pullman's trilogy His Dark Materials, slated for release on December 7 2007 worldwide by New Line Cinema. The story tells of Lyra's adventure to the far north in search of her friend. The project was announced in February 2002, following the success of other recent adaptations of fantasy epics, and at $150 million is expected to be New Line's biggest budget project ever after a series of box office disappointments in the past year.

Lyra Belaqua, living in Oxford's Jordan College, is not but a young girl living among scholars. Her world may seem diverse, from physical embodiments of souls that take the shape of an animal, but similar with people around you to become friends and enemies. She is thrown into a perilous adventure when she overhears a conversation of an extraordinary microscopic particle, Dust. This particle is said to unite different worlds, and is feared by many who want to destroy it forever. As Lyra is flung into the middle of this horrible struggle, she meets wondrous creatures both big and small, and villains who are not what they seem. Gobblers, that kidnap children, will turn out in the most unexpected places. And a magical compass of gold that will answer any question if one is skilled enough to read it. Lyra's adventure continues throughout these three books, and the first is about to be told.

But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY) who has come to her aid -- even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (JAMES MARSDEN) back home – she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

ENCHANTED is directed by Kevin Lima (“Tarzan,” “Eloise At Christmastime”) from a screenplay written by Bill Kelly (“Blast From the Past”) and will feature original songs from the reunited team of acclaimed composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz (“Pocahontas,” “Hunchback of Notre Dame”).

July 2nd 2007 10:00

Ratatouille is the eighth animated feature film produced by Pixar. It tells the story of Remy (voiced by Patton Oswalt), a rat living in Paris who wants to be a chef. The film is directed by Brad Bird, who took over around the time Jan Pinkava left Pixar. It was released on June 29, 2007 in the United States. The Australian release date is August 30 while in the UK it's October 5th.

A rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau.
Despite the apparent dangers of being an unlikely - and certainly unwanted - visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy's passion for cooking soon sets into motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Below is the trailer and then featurette for Ratatouille.

Directed by: Brad Bird, Jan Pinkava

Written by: Brad Bird
Starring: Patton Oswalt, Lou Romano, Janeane Garofalo, Ian Holm, Brian Dennehy
