James Marsden, Rosario Dawson, and Thomas Middleditch's Animated Film HENCHMEN Lands at Vertical Entertainment

Vertical Entertainment has picked up the rights to an upcoming animated movie titled Henchmen, starring James Marsden, Rosario Dawson, and Thomas Middleditch, as well as Nathan Fillion, Jane Krakowski, Rob Riggle, Bobcat Goldthwait, Alfred Molina, Will Sasso, and Craig Robinson.

The film was written and directed by Adam Wood in his feature-length film debut, and it’s based on the story he wrote with Jay D. Waxman. That story focuses on the henchmen who work for evil supervillains.

Here’s the synopsis:

In a world of super-villains, evil schemes and global domination, someone has to take out the trash. Welcome to the world of Henchmen, third class. When Lester (Middleditch), a fresh-faced recruit, joins the Union of Evil, he is assigned to a motley crew of blue-collar workers led by fallen henchmen Hank. But when Lester accidentally steals a super villain’s ultimate weapon, Hank must break his risk-nothing code to save the boy he’s befriended, even if it means becoming the one thing he has always avoided: a hero.

Rich Goldberg, co-president of Vertical Entertainment said of the film:

“There is a lot of heavy stuff happening in the world right now, so it’s exciting for us at Vertical to share a film that can provide some levity and laughs for everyone in the family. Henchmen marries the fun of an animated movie with the excitement of superhero flick, and we think it’ll be a perfect movie for anyone to gather around safely at home.”

This sounds like a really fun animated movie with a crazy good cast. The movie has been made, and now that it has a home, it is just a matter of time until we hear the release date and place. Does Henchmen sound like a fun animated movie to you?
