- TURBO
DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. announced that Ryan Reynolds
will lead an all-star cast including Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzman,
Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Ben
Schwartz, Kurtwood Smith, Snoop Dogg and Samuel L. Jackson in the Company's
upcoming original film Turbo, which tells the story of an ordinary garden snail
with dreams of racing greatness.
"Ryan Reynolds' infectious enthusiasm and humor will
bring life to the lead role of Turbo and set the tone for this amazing roster
of all-star voice talent," said DreamWorks Animation Chief Creative
Officer Bill Damaschke. "This high-octane journey will take audiences on
the race of their lives and completely re-define the traditional notion of
moving at a snail's pace!"
David Soren (Merry Madagascar), a DreamWorks Animation
veteran as a story artist, voice actor and director, is set to direct the film
based on his own original concept.
Turbo is a snail who dreams of being the greatest racer in
the world, just like his hero, 5-time Indianapolis 500 champ, Guy Gagne. His
obsession with speed and all things fast has made him an oddity and outsider in
the slow and cautious snail community, and a constant embarrassment to his
careful older brother, Chet.
Turbo desperately wishes he could escape the slow-paced life
he's living. As luck would have it, he gets that chance one fateful day after a
freak accident when he suddenly finds himself vested with the power of
incredible speed. Turbo embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the
impossible: racing against the best that IndyCar has to offer.
Turbo is the ultimate underdog who achieves the impossible
by refusing to let his limitations get in the way of his dreams.
Turbo is scheduled to come to the big screen on July 19,
2013.
