Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Emily Watson lend their voices to the lead characters. Even the lead guy, Victor, looks a little like Mr. Depp with that floppy lock of black hair.
The movie is based on a Russian folktale which you can read here. It's a good story. Sad, but good.
My favorite moments in the trailer - when Victor's fiancee finishes his sentence for him..."married," and when Victor addresses a skeletal dog, and says in a very endearing voice, "Play dead." Gotta love that bumbling groom-to-be.
Oh, and McFarlane is doing the figures for the show. Spawn is just great with figures.
I've also been watching the trailer for Bride and Prejudice. Aishwarya Rai is just luminous, and LK is smitten. We're hoping the film will open in the US the week he visits.
For my part, I seem to be smitten with Ioan Gruffudd, who will play Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic. The movie Fantastic Four looks promising in the trailer, but I won't keep my hopes too high. Not sure about Jessica Alba as Susan Storm. And anyone who mistakenly assumes that the powers of the Fantastic Four resemble those of the Incredibles' should be aware that it's the other way round.
