Igor

Posted by Mona - No Comments

Well, it’s been a string of slow news days around here, but now the waiting seems worth it! Buscemi is slated to voice yet another quirky, kooky animated character, this time in Igor.

A playfully irreverent comedy which brings a new twist to the classic monster genre, Igor is the story of a mad scientist’s hunchbacked lab assistant who has big dreams of becoming a scientist in his own right and winning the coveted first place award at the annual Evil Science Fair.

The voice cast includes Steve Buscemi (Charlotte’s Web, Fargo) as “Scamper,” Igor’s super intelligent and ill-tempered lab rabbit, John Cleese (”Shrek” 2 & 3, A Fish Called Wanda) as “Dr. Glickenstein,” Igor’s evil master, and Christian Slater (Windtalkers, Untamed Heart) in the role of “Igor.” The Weinstein Company has an all encompassing distribution deal for Igor, including North America as well as representing international rights. TWC secured film distribution for most foreign territories at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. [Read More]

And Mr. Buscemi plays the part of - drum roll, please - THE TOURIST! (in the segment ‘Tuileries’) Zowie. It may be a bigger role than it sounds, since a number of media outlets are using the photo above for promo. I’ll definately catch it if it ever hits the Dallas indie circuit. Reviews so far are positive!
