The Return of Wallace and Gromit

Posted by Hemos on from the finally! dept.

blamanj writes "Aardman Studios have release the first peek (Quicktime) at the new Wallace & Gromit film, Curse of the Wererabbit. Currently scheduled for an October release, the slightly-less-than dynamic duo will be putting their talents to work chasing a were-rabbit that threatens the town's vegetables. Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter supply lead vocals. Character creator Nick Park co-directs his story."

    Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter supply lead vocals.

    I thought for a mo that they were taking over for the venerable Peter Sallis, the familiar voice of Wallace. I don't need shocks like that!

    your's truly will provide the voice of gromit

    I watched the trailer earlier this morning and the movie looks very promising. The subject of the movie is sort of hidden within the trailer, but if you look at all the working titles from different countries it will probably give you a better idea of what the movie will be about.

    According to my old AQFL story and Dark Horizons, there was a WMV trailer on Screen Rant but the Web site seems to be down. You can look at Google's cached Web page. And here is the original Web site that hosted it (still works for now).

    Bunnicula was a vampire rabbit, silly. They're after a were-rabbit.

    Bunnicula drained vegetable of their color, he didn't really eat them!
