Will Arnett to Star in Paramount Animation and WWE's Animated Film RUMBLE

Paramount Animation has teamed up with the WWE to create an animated movie called Rumble that is set to star Will Arnett (Arrested Development), Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine Nine), Geraldine Viswanathan (Blockers), Fred Melamed (In a World…), Tony Danza (Who’s the Boss?), Stephen A. Smith (General Hospital), Jimmy Tatro (American Vandal), and Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation), plus the famous voice of boxing announcer Michael Buffer and WWE stars Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns. Here’s the synopsis for the film:

In a world where monsters are tame and monster wrestling is a popular sport, Winnie seeks to follow in her father’s footsteps as a manager by turning an inexperienced monster into a contender.

Mireille Soria, president of Paramount Animation, had this to say in a statement:

“Rumble is steeped in the world of wrestling, and what better partners to help bring this world to life than WWE. They bring a pedigree and institutional excellence that is unmatched, and we couldn’t be happier to collaborate with them on this special film.”

The movie is being directed by animator Hamish Grieve (Shark Tale, Monsters vs Aliens). Rumble sounds like it will be a lot of fun for fans of boxing and wrestling, but also sounds like a movie anyone could enjoy. Rumble is set to hit theaters in the summer of 2020. Are you interested in this story?
