Igor Update

I really should be posting this on "hump day," but nonetheless, here is an update on Weinstein's upcoming "Igor" which is being created in Paris by SPARX.



Thanks to Animated News, I can pass on links to the official Exodus site where you can see a full cast list, which is actually somewhat impressive. Not only that, but the cast does not (currently) feature Andy Dick or Whoopi Goldberg, so it's already got that going for it.

The second link is a video that takes us behind the scenes with some annoying CNN correspondent who somehow managed to land a role in the film. I'm sure it was basically a "do a piece on our upcoming movie and the lifeless corpse holding the mic can have a bit part," but it's still interesting to see the process. Don't hold your breath for any clips from the film though, as there is only one that lasts about 2 seconds at the very end.

With a cast like the one listed, the film has the star power for sure. Now we'll see if they can pull off the characters and story in the same way that Pixar and Dreamworks can.
