ANGRY BIRDS Trailer Starring Jason Sudeikis, Bill Hader, and More
Like it or not, a movie based on smash hit mobile game Angry Birds is on the way. Sony Pictures and Rovio Entertainment have released the first teaser trailer, which sets the stage and introduces us to the main characters. Since the first Pirates of the Caribbean turned out to be a really fun movie, I've been trying my best to avoid judging films that are based on weird properties before I see them, but the last scene in this trailer pushes my patience to the limit. I hope, for the sake of all the parents who are going to be forced to watch this, that sequence is designed specifically for the trailer and doesn't actually appear in the movie.
The Angry Birds Movie has a great voice cast, though, including Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Bill Hader, Peter Dinklage, Keegan-Michael Key, Tony Hale, Ike Barinholtz, Hannibal Buress, and Jillian Bell, and it flies into theaters in May of 2016.
The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We're the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.
