Marsden signs on to Hop
James Marsden is the latest to sign up on the CGI animation and live action hybrid comedy called I Hop. He technically co-stars alongside Russell Brand, though that could be debatable. The story is about an out-of-work slacker (Marsden) who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny (voiced by 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 (THR).
The premise sounds very strange at first, but already sounds to be rather fuuny at the same time if that makes any sense. The film is being produced by John Cohen and Christopher Meledandri with Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures on top of the picture. The script is penned by Brian Lynch, Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio with Tim Hill (Alvin and the Chipmunks) directing. The hybrid feature is set to jump out into theaters on April 1rst, 2011.
