Russell Brand HOPs Into Cinemas

From minions to The Easter Bunny is quite a jump but Universal have just released the first poster and teaser trailer for the upcoming Live action/CGI film "HOP". The film stars Russell Brand as the afore mentioned rodent.

I have to wonder how long the rabbit's legs are to be able to play the drums that way!

Blending state-of-the-art animation with live action, HOP tells the comic tale of Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) and must take him in as he recovers. As Fred struggles with the world’s worst houseguest, both will learn what it takes to finally grow up.

The film is helmed by Tim Hill, director of the blockbuster ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS and produced by Chris Meledandri’s Illumination Entertainment (DESPICABLE ME). At its heart, HOP is a classic buddy movie… it’s just that one of the buddies is a talking rabbit!

'HOP' IS RELEASED IN UK AND IRISH CINEMAS ON 1 APRIL 2011
