Nemo's dad is joining The Little Prince!

Albert Brooks Lends Voice To ‘The Little Prince’

EXCLUSIVE: Already booked to reprise in the Finding Nemo sequel, Albert Brooks has just signed on to the voice cast of The Little Prince. He joins James Franco, Rachel McAdams, Jeff Bridges, Benicio Del Toro and Paul Giamatti in Paramount’s animated pic. Brooks will play one of the film’s villains. Brooks, who played the heavy in Drive and most recently starred in This Is 40, has been driving Twitter traffic with a feed that made national news. He mostly uses Twitter to make humorous observations — like the recent one about the record-setting swim from Florida to Cuba: “Diana Nyad is going to be so pissed when she finds out there was a flight”– but Brooks got serious and prescient with a suggestion that the U.S. and Russia join hands to go over and take the chemical weapons out of Syria, among other things. It became the very thing those nations began discussing, and Brooks got ink on Capitol Hill for it. Brooks is repped by WME and managed by Herb Nanas.

A French website is reporting that a game of The Little Prince will be released November 2014. I'm not sure, but I think this is a game based on the movie. The article also mentions the movie and reports it will be released in 2015.

An eight-year old girl moves into a new house. Her parents, who are two workaholic-over-achievers, couldn't be happier. Except, their beautiful new home neighbors a decrepit and decaying house lived in by a wacky old man known as the Aviator. He’s the town vagrant and self proclaimed space traveler of the world: Nobody believes him… that is, until he meets the little girl next door. Confined to a home built upon rules and plans geared towards nothing else but academic achievement, the little girl lusts to explore the stars and dream and remain a child forever. Against her parent’s wishes, the little girl befriends the Aviator who tells her of his travels through outer-space and meeting the Little Prince. After a malfunction with his plane, the Aviator ends up in the hospital, unable to travel back to see his old friend – the Little Prince. The little girl decides to fly the Aviator’s plan on an adventurous journey in search for the Little Prince … hopeful, not only to bring him back to the Aviator, but also to remind him what it is like to be a child.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, I want this so bad!! Thanks for the info, Jord!

Rikayla · 12-09-2013, 01:29 PM

WOWWW, i haven't read the book in a while a long time but i don't remember the story like that LOL. i wonder who will play the girl then. i feel like it would be very much a rachel mcadams role, while marion cotillard would be the rose because it doesn't say "french girl" in that synopsis?

amanda s. · 12-09-2013, 04:03 PM

It actually didn't even occur to me that the little girl might be Rachel's role because I guess the "little girl" part through me off until when you said it I remembered that oh yeah adults voice kids in animated films like this all the time. THAT WOULD BE SO GREAT THOUGH.

nick1982 · 12-09-2013, 04:55 PM

I inmediately thought that Mackenzie Foy was going to play the girl when I read the synopsis, but you're right - often adults will provide the voice for children in animated movies, so hopefully this is Rachel's part. I would hate to think that Rachel only has a minor role in this, but it sounds like this version is an entirely new take on the story, so anything is possible.

Rikayla · 12-09-2013, 07:47 PM

^ I completely forgot that girl was cast tbh, so you could be right, Nick!

Jord-Temp · 12-09-2013, 08:13 PM

I think Mackenzie will probably be playing that part, but I hope it turns out to be Rachel too

I know this is prejudice as I haven't read the script, but I sure hope she is not playing one of the parents. As that will probably be a minor part

I agree, it does seem like they've revamped this classic tale going by the plot outline.
