Jason Bateman To Lend His Voice To New Film From The Director Of Tangled

3 May 2013 6:33 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

As a director, Byron Howard is two for two in the film department, both with 2008's Bolt and 2010's Tangled. Both films were major successes both domestically and overseas, while Rotten Tomatoes has them listed with 88% and 90% approval ratings, respectively. We look forward to seeing what he does next, and apparently he's not only found his project, but also a star. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Howard has begun work on a new film with Walt Disney Animation and that Jason Bateman has signed on the voice the lead character. Unfortunately, everything else about the movie remains a mystery, much like most projects in early development at Disney and Pixar. The trade does say that it's an "untitled animal comedy" that has not yet found a release date. When you think about how many animated movies have animals for lead characters, that's not really much to go on. Bateman's »

Jason Bateman in Talks to Voice a Character in New Animated Film for Disney Directed by Byron Howard

3 May 2013 5:15 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) may be lending his voice to character in an upcoming animated feature from Walt Disney Animation.  Directed by Byron Howard (Tangled), the logline on the project is being kept under wraps, but appears to be an animal comedy of some sort.  The picture has no release date at the moment.  This would mark the first feature voice role for Bateman and could be the first solo directing job for Howard, who co-directed both Bolt and Tangled.  Hit the jump for more. Heat Vision reports that Bateman is in talks to join this super-secret picture but few other details are available.  It's possible that a recent report of voice actors on Disney's premiere Adr studio at Stage B has something to do with the new film.  From Bleeding Cool, this tweet from voice-actor Bill Farmer (Toy Story) came to our attention: Bill Farmer ‏@GoofyBill Had a great »

It’s Sunday! Let’s Watch Disney’s Tangled Ever After!

3 February 2013 10:00 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Ok, ok, this is not some hot fresh news, and you’ve probably already watched Disney’s Tangled Ever After, but hey in case you’ve missed it – here’s your perfect chance to finally check it out! It’s funny, it’s cute, it’s lovely, it premiered before the 3D theatrical re-release of Beauty and the Beast and… what else you want to hear?

So, it’s Rapunzel and Flynn Rider’s wedding day, and Pascal and Maximus are the ring bearers. But – they accidentally lose the wedding rings! And that’s where the fun begins…

They eventually retrieve the rings in time for the ceremony, but cause immense collateral damage and get themselves dirty. Then they accidentally “lose” the wedding cake.

Directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard stand behind Tangled Ever After, and as you already know, the voice-cast includes Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Flynn. »
