Russell Brand To Play Easter Bunny In Upcoming Film ‘Hop’
From the creators of Despicable Me and Alvin & the Chipmunks, Universal Studios introduces ‘Hop’ — an Easter movie about, well, the Easter bunny.
The film promises to bring “Candy, Chicks and Rock ‘n Roll,” — oh, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall‘s Russell Brand, who stars as the Easter bunny.
The movie, which hops into theaters next Easter, will also bring a little James Marsden to your basket.
Here’s a full synopsis:
Blending state-of-the-art animation with live action, Hop tells the comic tale of Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) and must take him in as he recovers. As Fred struggles with the world’s worst houseguest, both will learn what it takes to finally grow up.
The film is helmed by Tim Hill, director of the blockbuster Alvin & the Chipmunks and produced by Chris Meledandri’s Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me).
Easter movie? Good. Russell Brand? Great. Good call, Universal!
