The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists gets a trailer

Sometimes you wait for ages until a company releases their new film. This was the case with Aardman until now. now only do we get Arthur Christmas but this one...

With one of the strangest names for a film, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, and an amazing cast that includes Hugh Grant as well as Salma Hayek as his nemesis.

If the film is even half as funny as the trailer makes it out then Aardman has another massive hit on their hands.

This is the US trailer but don't worry as the UK trailer should be here tomorrow! It's a lot better than the one below.  That's just what I think so go over to the post and decide for yourself

In The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they do battle with the pirate-hating Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a young Charles Darwin (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!
