Out on the 1st of April this one has Russell Brand and James Marsden (one voicing a CG Rabbit, the other not) and let’s be clear – the only thing that will differentiate this from the thousand and one other CG/Real Life mash ups currently in production is a decent script with perhaps a hint of subversion.
Synopsis time reading fans,
Blending state of the art animation with live action, Hop is a comedy about E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand), the teenage son of the Easter Bunny. On the eve of taking over the family business, E.B. leaves for Hollywood in pursuit of his dream of becoming a drummer. He encounters Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker with his own lofty goals, who accidentally hits E.B. with his car. Feigning injury, E.B. manipulates Fred into providing him shelter, and Fred finds himself with the world’s worst houseguest.
Three posters await you should you cast your eyes downwards and click like crazy to make them big and stuff.
