Al Pacino Drops Despicable Me 2, Benjamin Bratt Steps In

This casting news is made all the more surprising by Despicable Me 2's fast-approaching release date of July 3rd. Still, sources close to the creative team behind the sequel are confident they will have enough time for Bratt to re-record all of Pacino's lines without effecting the sequel's deadline. ...

Gru Meets His Match In Latest Despicable Me 2 Trailer

Gru Meets His Match In Latest Despicable Me 2 Trailer

The film's first teaser was funny, but revealed little about the sequel's plot. But the latest trailer is far more forthcoming. It begins with Gru in suburban bliss, caring for his adopted daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agatha, worrying over boys and giving bedtime tuck-ins. Then, it kicks into full-gear when Gru is confronted by Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) of the Anti-Villain League. ...

Despicable Me 2 Teaser Gets Abducted By Aliens

Al Pacino Replaces Javier Bardem As Despicable Me 2 Villain

Al Pacino Replaces Javier Bardem As Despicable Me 2 Villain

It’s kind of unbelievable, given his distinct gravel and recognizable delivery, that Pacino hasn’t been asked to voice an animated character before over the course of his illustrious career. This could be a major win for the producers of the sequel, who perfectly tailored Carell’s voice to Gru and have a shot to do something extraordinary with Pacino....

Javier Bardem Passes On Despicable Me Sequel

Javier Bardem Passes On Despicable Me Sequel

THR doesn’t say why Bardem moved on, just that the part is back up for grabs. Losing Bardem stinks, but vocal talent on an animated feature is a little easier to replace. Heck, if you can find an animator who does a solid Bardem impression, Despicable Me 2 could be back on track. ...

Javier Bardem May Voice Villain Role Opposite Steve Carell In Despicable Me 2

Javier Bardem May Voice Villain Role Opposite Steve Carell In Despicable Me 2

With all due respect to Jason Segel, Vector was a forgettable foe in Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud’s animated comedy Despicable Me. Part of it was Segel’s reading of the character, who was easily overshadowed by Steve Carell’s Gru, the three adorable orphan girls, the yellow-bellied minions, and even Russell Brand’s humorously out-of-touch Dr. Nefario. Gru needs a proper nemesis, and a new report says one might be on the horizon....

It's crazy how much Despicable Me made at the box office last year. Working with a reported budget under $70 million, the movie pulled in $543 million internationally making a lot of studio heads happy and guaranteeing a sequel. Sadly fans are going to have to wait quite a while for the second film to come out - as it is currently scheduled to be released on July 3, 2013 - but today a little taste has arrived online....

Despicable Me 2 Already In The Works, With Minion Shorts Coming Too

It's taken nearly 15 years, but it now looks as if there is actual competition against Pixar for high-quality animated films that adults can enjoy as well. The plan is for Illumination to soon start releasing two or three films...
