New Monsters vs. Aliens Pic, Voice Cast Revealed

March 11, 2008
USA Today has published this new photo from DreamWorks Animation's March 27, 2009 release, Monsters vs. Aliens, along with an article in which the voice cast is revealed. The film is based on the horror comicbook "Rex Havoc," which reinvents the classic '50s monster movie into an irreverent modern day action comedy about a monster hunter called upon to battle aliens who disrupt cable TV service. Here are clips from the article:
That includes hearing Reese Witherspoon as Susan Murphy, a modern-day California girl who has the bad luck to be hit by a meteor on her wedding day and grows to be 49 feet, 11½ inches tall (a wink at 1958's The Attack of the 50-Foot Woman). Captured by the military, she's renamed Ginormica.
"I got very inspired when the studio showed me storyboards," says the 5-foot-2 actress. "Playing a larger-than-life woman has given me my own opportunity to make tall jokes." She also is no stranger to cinematic cheese. "My father was a fan of Roger Corman movies," she says. "I watched a lot of those on late-night TV."
Joining her giantess to fend off Rainn Wilson's evil alien Gallaxhar are Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), the jellylike B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) and the half-ape, half-fish Missing Link (Will Arnett). Kiefer Sutherland speaks for Gen. W.R. Monger (get it?), and Stephen Colbert is the president.
