Ferrell, Pitt and Hill to Voice Oobermind
Ferrell replaces Downey Jr. in the title role
DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. announced today that Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill will star alongside Tina Fey in its upcoming theatrical release, Oobermind, which is scheduled to hit theaters on November 5, 2010. Will Ferrell assumes the leading role of Oobermind, replacing Robert Downey, Jr., who has left the production due to scheduling conflicts.
When super villain Oobermind (Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man (Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, Oobermind falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is life without a point for him. So, he creates a new superhero rival, Titan (Hill). Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super villain, too. Caught in the middle, star reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Fey) asks the tough questions: Who can we turn to? Who has what it takes to stand up to this menace? Who will defend the innocent? Oobermind! That's who.
"We are thrilled to welcome Will, Brad and Jonah to 'Oobermind,'" said Bill Damaschke, Co-President of Production & President of Live Theatrical for DreamWorks Animation. "Together, our all-star cast will set the comedic tone for this exciting new twist on the superhero genre."
Oobermind is being directed by Tom McGrath (Madagascar, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa) and produced by Lara Breay and Denise Nolan Cascino.

Actually, Dreamworks aren't half bad at all, there are pretty good as they have a style of their own. I like the twist in story line - should be entertaining to watch. Report Abuse
