Dreamworks has, slowly but surely, made it’s way into the limelight of animation, producing worthwhile products (here and there) in their post-Shrek world (or at least post-original Shrek), a la Kung Fu Panda and the upcoming How To Train Your Dragon.
Now we have a small teaser for Megamind, a reflexive superhero film in the vein of The Incredibles. Will Ferrell is the voice of the title character.
Here’s the extremely promising synopsis:
“…super villain Megamind (Will Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man (Brad Pitt) and the world should be his oyster. But instead, Megamind 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 (Jonah Hill). Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super villain, too. Caught in the middle, star reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Tina 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? Megamind! That’s who.” [SuperHeroHype]
