DreamWorks' Rise of the Guardians

Post by Sotiris »

Synopsis
When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to dispel our most cherished beliefs, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and the imagination that lives within us all. In order to overcome Pitch, the Guardians must also convince Jack Frost to join their ranks, as Pitch's campaign of fear & darkness threatens to envelop the world. This epic 3D fantasy-adventure stars Alec Baldwin as North (Santa Claus), Hugh Jackman as Bunnymund (Easter Bunny), Isla Fisher as Tooth (Tooth Fairy), Chris Pine as Jack Frost and Jude Law as Pitch (Boogeyman).

Could be cool (or not), I like the character designs, different enough from their usual fare.

Yeah, Jack Frost looks awesome. I love that design. But that short guy's face looks like Sylvester Stalone's character from Antz.

But I’m surprised--Jude Law as the villain? I mean, it could work depending on the character, but that’s not a casting choice I would’ve expected.

Okay, if they make this the official poster, it'll probably draw a crowd based off of how good it looks. Especially Jack Frost.

Saw this and immediately thought Legend of the Guardians.

Hmm...

All I can say right now is that the Easter Bunny IS Wolverine. :mad:
And if the poster was all that I knew, he'd look like the villain to me.

It used to be called The Guardians of Childhood (a much better title IMO) but they've changed it to this (probably because of the word "childhood"--it makes no sense, I know).

They probably think it will scare the kids away, they all want to be grown-ups, right? :roll:

Regardless, I didn't think this sounded too promising on the premise alone, but then I saw the poster. Not to judge a book by its cover but those designs are great; I already might be hooked. :D

I did, too!

Anyways, this looks promising. And an interesting voice cast, too. I thought at first Henry Selick might have had a hand in this piece, but I guess not.

Still, I'm looking forward to this one! I'm only afraid now that they'll abandon story substance for style.

EDIT: Turns out William Joyce is involved with this. Hmm...

I do not know what to think of this. I know it's meant for kids, but I think the whole concept sounds like a mess.

^Frankly, it's too vague to really even tell if it's gonna be good or not.

Oh well . . . it was worth a bump anyway. ;) I imagine you'll be the first to post any updates. :D

Wow!

I don't think Dreamworks films are very good on the whole, but this seems like it could be an exception in the league of How To Train Your Dragon.

I have high hopes for it :)

Looks promising to me. A little bit generic compared to the last logo, but still not bad.
