The Minions Are Back in a Super Bowl Spot for MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU
The Minions are back in action and causing all kinds of hijinks in the Super Bowl spot for the upcoming film Minions: The Rise of Gru. This film will tell the untold story of Gru, who at 12-year-old had a dream to become the world’s greatest supervillain.
These films have been fun to watch, and while I’m over the whole Minions thing, my kids aren’t! There’s still a big market for these silly characters, which is why we’re getting a whole new movie.
Here’s the synopsis:
Teeming with Illumination’s signature subversive humor, pop-culture sophistication, full-hearted emotion, bold music sensibility, and over-the-top action, Minions: The Rise of Gru is steered by the franchise’s original creators. The film is produced by visionary Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and his longtime collaborators Janet Healy and Chris Renaud and is directed by returning franchise filmmaker Kyle Balda (Despicable Me 3, Minions). The co-directors are Brad Ableson (The Simpsons) and Jonathan del Val (The Secret Life of Pets films).
Minions: The Rise of Gru will debut worldwide on February 5, 2020.
