The first teaser posters for the upcoming DreamWorks animation' flick ('50s monster movie remake) “Monsters vs. Aliens” has been released and features one of their few funny characters, big gooey blue Blob, voiced by Seth Rogen.
When California girl Susan Murphy is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a “monster” named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured and held in a secret government compound. The world learns that the military has been quietly rounding up other monsters over the years. This ragtag group consists of the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country.
“Monsters vs. Aliens” is directed by Rob Letterman (who directed “Shark Tale“) and Conrad Vernon (who directed “Shrek 2“), two very experienced DreamWorks team members.
“Monsters vs. Aliens” is scheduled to hit conventional and 3-D IMAX theaters on March 27th, 2009.
