Ilana Glazer and James Corden Cast in EMOJIMOVIE: EXPRESS YOURSELF
Ilana Glazer and James Corden will join T.J. Miller in EmojiMovie: Express Yourself. It's a film about emojis that look nothing like the emojis you find in your phone. Here's the official description for the film:
EMOJIMOVIE: EXPRESS YOURSELF unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression – except for Gene (T.J. Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 (James Corden) and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak (Ilana Glazer). Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.
This is going to be one of those films that people trash and then, against all odds, it debuts at number 1 worldwide and spawns sequels. I want to be wrong but The Smurfs and Ice Age made it happen, so who am I to count this film out?
