G-Force, the upcoming Bruckheimer CGI/live action hybrid whose basic concept really reminds me of Grant Morrison’s WE3 (also in film development) but you know, for kids, now has its lead characters. Or their voices, anyway. Nicolas Cage, Steve Buscemi and Tracy Morgan (diversity!) have signed on to deliver the nuanced vocals of a group of super-intelligent animal commandoes who work for the government and are trying to stop a billionaire from taking over the world, proving once again that Hollywood communists just hate capitalism!
Here’s the casting breakdown for you: Cage is playing Speckles, a mole. I bet he can’t see so well. Buscemi is Bucky, a hamster. And Morgan is Blaster, a guinea pig, who will probably be the crazy one. I mean, why else hire Tracy Morgan unless you want him to play the crazy one?
Meanwhile, Bill Nighy has joined the film in a live action capacity, playing an industrialist. Also live action will be Will Arnett, playing an FBI agent.
Production on G-Force is happening right now.
