Universal's Despicable Me spinoff, Minions , has added some A-list talent to its voice cast with the appointment of Sandra Bullock as the movie's chief antagonist.
Bullock will play a vampish sounding villain named Scarlet Overkill, who turns out to be hell-bent on world domination. Who'd have thought it, eh?
The film will establish the loveable minions as a race of critters who have been around forever, thwarting their masters with their persistent oafishness.
Picking up with the cuddly band in the 1960s, the story will see the minions attend a convention of supervillains at which they will seek to worm their way into the service of the aforementioned Ms Overkill. She in turn has plans of her own... to become the world's first female supervillain!
Directed by Kyle Bada and Pierre Coffin, Minions will open in the US on 19 December 2014. If you can't wait until then however, our little yellow friends will also be returning in Despicable Me 2 , which opens on 3 July 2013.
There was "no version" of Sonic 3 that wouldn't include Live and Learn according to director Jeff Fowler: "The fans would hunt me down"
Amid Oscar buzz, Zoe Saldana opens up on her new perspective on Hollywood and why she's only really proud of Avatar and Emilia Pérez: "I think I just have to accept who I am as a creative person"
