Despicable Me and Percy Jackson trailers arrive
A new CG ‘toon and a Potter wannabe…
Two new trailers are online today – one for CG animated adventure Despicable Me and another for the first Percy Jackson outing.
Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief (known as Percy henceforth, thanks to its unwieldy title) is directed by Chris Colum𝐆bus, who helmed the 𝕴first two Potter pictures.
And boy, does it show a little. The contrasting mix of contemporary New York and ancient Olympia seems like an East Coat version of Rowling's w🌠izarding world, except with greek mythology instead of Pythonesque fantasy.
There’s not a lot to the teaser (since the movie is still shooting) except🐈 for star Logan Lerman and some nice CGI. Check it out below.
Next up is Despicable Me, Universal’s latest step into DreamWorks Animation territory. It’s got a solid comedy voice cast (including Steve Carell, Jason Sege▨l, Kristin 🅺Wiig and even Julie Andrews) and a fun-sounding concept about a super villain faced with taking on three orphan girls who select him as a possible father.
You won’t find any of that in this teaser, though – and the film itself won’t be out for a year yet. Take a look and let us know what you think.
