Gadgets, gizmos, guinea pigs in 3-D. The animated/live-action talking-guinea-pig movie G-Force is as action packed as producer Jerry Bruckheimer's adult geared flicks like Enemy of the State and National Treasure, only this one is for kids.
"I kind of liken it to, ... it's just like a kid's movie, Bruckheimer-style," co-star Will Arnett, who plays one of the few live-action adults in the movie, said. "It's just a big, fun movie for the entire family."
Sci Fi Wire reports the following:
The 3-D film, which marks the directorial debut of veteran special-effects pro Hoyt Yeatman, follows a group of heroic animal secret agents tasked with saving the world from the machinations of a no-good human billionaire (Bill Nighy). The title animal squad, called G-Force, includes the guinea pigs Darwin (voiced by Sam Rockwell), Blaster (Tracy Morgan) and Juarez (Penelope Cruz), as well as the fly Mooch (Edwin Louis) and the mole Speckles (Nicolas Cage). As the adventure unfolds, they encounter the pet-shop guinea pig Hurley (Jon Favreau) and the hamster Bucky (Steve Buscemi).
"Actually, Zach Galifianakis and Bill Nighy and I are the live-action component of that movie," Arnett said in a recent interview. "I play kind of an FBI [agent] who discovers this secret program, and I want to shut it down. And then we get enmeshed with Bill Nighy, who's trying to rule the world. Zach Galifianakis [The Hangover] plays this bumbling [guy], which he is. He's a bumbling idiot."
G-Force opens nationwide on July 24.
