I'm sure you've heard of the hilarious animations ICE AGE and RIO right? Well supposedly here's more of the same from Blue Sky.
EPIC stars the voices of Amanda Seyfried, Jason Sudeikis, Josh Hutcherson, Colin Farrell, Pitbull, Beyonce Knowles, Judah Freidlander and Steven Tyler.
Here's the storyline for the movie: EPIC is a 3D CG action-adventure comedy that reveals a hidden world unlike any other. From the creators of ICE AGE and RIO, EPIC tells the story of an ongoing battle deep in the forest between the forces of good who keep the natural world alive and the forces of evil who wish to destroy it. When a teen age girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world… and ours.
Check out the first trailer for Fox's 3D animation EPIC! To me the first 30 secs or so really reminds me of THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES - and I guess some FERN GULLY thrown in. Not a bad combination but not entirely original to me. Still the imagery looks impressive and Fox has come a long way with their animations

Amanda Seyfried of the recently completed "Mamma Mia" said she really hopes to land the role of Alice. Not too bad a choice I suppose, but I am still leaning toward Johnny Depp in the role! :-) Of course she could also be up against Lindsay Lohan :-(
I have to say that judging by the early and very public actors' interest and my readers' casting questions about "Alice In Wonderland" - the movie is bound for a bountiful booty in box office worldwide. Yeah alliteration, I went with it ok?
Amanda had this to say to The DailyMail:
‘Tim Burton’s shooting Alice in Wonderland in London and I think I’m a real candidate for that. I mean, I’m not even close [to being cast] and it’s very far away, but I want it really badly because I respect him so much as a director. He likes weird-looking people for his movies,’ she grins, ‘so I’m really hoping. Plus it would mean coming back to London."
Well good luck Amanda. That movie has some serious shoes to fill and I have all the confidence in the world in Tim Burton and Disney to pull it off. It is going to be simply awesome in 3D - an immersive fantasy journey down a rabbit hole - what more can you ask for?
