I made it through the hole, so if I can make it through the portal, I’ll be alright.NEW YORK, NY Aug– The Weinstein Company (TWC) and Rainmaker Entertainment announced today the all-star voice cast for ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH which includes Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Rob Corddry, James Gandolfini and Craig Robinson. I’m not like Handy Smurf back in Smurfland waiting for the other ones to come back. There’s only six that get through the porthole. The 3D animated family comedy catapults moviegoers to planet Baab where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. Lopez: Being a Smurf to me is like if you were in the Mafia you’d be made. George, how different was this from Beverly Hills Chihuahua and when you were a Grouchy Smurf? And then, I liked being pretty animated and over the top and crazy. Then I think by the third session I got a lot more comfortable with the idea of just hearing my own voice against nothing, because there was no animation or anything. Were you nervous going in and did you try to create a voice or was it pretty much just you? How did you find that process?Īlba: I had no idea how far to push it. Jessica, this was your first animated feature. Harvey is just a force that you go, “Oh, okay.” You start Tuesday.” I was like, “Can I see the script?” “We’ll send it over.” And then, the minute he hung up, I got an email. He said, “I want you to do this part and I won’t take no for an answer. I was in Las Vegas and the phone rang and it was Harvey. So I had the luxury of seeing the movie almost already done. George Lopez: If you look at who’s in this cast, I think Harvey has a way of putting together anybody that Harvey wants to have in the movie. I really liked the idea of playing a villain because I’ve never played one. I think they just sent me the script and I thought it was great. How were you approached to do the voice for this? Did Harvey Weinstein call you?Īlba: I don’t remember. Why not? It’s still something that my kids can enjoy.Īlba: Yes, because I got to be crazy. Question: At first I thought you wanted to do this for your family, but then I realized how villainous your character was.
