N'Ever Finally Close to Arriving

Way back in June we had Crazy Chris Campbell informing us that Lionsgate had just purchased North American distribution rights to Happily N'Ever After, a CG-animated fairy tale spoof from the producer of Shrek -- and today we get our very first peek at the long-gestating project. ComingSoon.net is where you'll find the goods.

The plot deals with all the heroic fairy tale characters dealing with conflict from all the villains ... or something like that. (Let's give it up for characters in the public domain!) What I find most amusing is the voice cast. We got Sarah Michelle Gellar as Ella (as in Cinderella), Sigourney Weaver as an evil witch (cool!), Freddie Prinze Jr., Andy ****, Patrick Warburton, Jon Polito, Wallace Shawn and George Carlin -- and when I say "amusing," I actually mean it. Most of those actors have pretty funny voices!

So in addition to the previously linked clip, this just-discovered teaser trailer at YouTube, and a release date of January 5, I can also inform you that both the writer and the director are first-time filmmakers. But hey, I liked Hoodwinked, so I think this flick looks pretty, well, amusing.

A NEW YEAR TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

2007 is shaping up to be a big year for Sarah. She has six films scheduled for release next year: HAPPILY N'EVER AFTER (Jan. 5), THE AIR I BREATHE (TBA), SOUTHLAND TALES (TBA), SUBURBAN GIRL (TBA), TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (Spring), and ADDICTED (TBA). If everything works out, we'll be seeing (or hearing) Sarah on the big screen every quarter!

No not yet sadly

[ohiofan]

Just heard from another source that Sarah has already completed her voice overs for TMNT! Sorry - no real link for this one.

[andrew r]

I heard that as well. Sarah's doing lots of voice work at the moment.

[ohiofan]

I'm hearing that the reviews for HNA are not that great.
On the brighter side I've heard that the kids love it and that's what really matters in an animated film.

[sarahbrazilianfan]

Im a little kid I want to watch this movie so bad !!!!

The Return seems flooped out of the box office....

[ohiofan]

I think you're right John. Here's the latest from Box Office Mojo: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=revolver.htm

Sarahbrazilianfan: I hope you get to see it soon!

[ohiofan]

HNA only did 2 million on opening night: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/c...7-01-05&p=.htm

[andrew r]

Oh well. That's not great is it?
