What had20th Century Foxand Blue Sky Studios scared enough to move it’s big tentpole animated release by a week?Ghosts, which they are definitely afraid of. On July 15, Sony will finally be releasing it’sGhostbustersreboot. The title is certainly appealing to children and adults alike. Though directorPaul Feig, who has made some of the top grossingR ratedcomedies of this past decade, has made it clear that this will be a lot more scary than the original 1984Ghostbusters. And a little raunchier, too. Very young children need not apply.
The date change now pushes Ice Age: Collision Course up alongsideKnights of the Round Table, which starsCharlie Hunnam. Being aGuy Ritchiemovie, we can expect this sword in the stone tale to be a little more violent and adult, harkening back to 1981 R rated adventureExcalibur. Though, it will surely get a PG-13 rating to ensure the widest possible audience.
20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios have not revealed any plot details for Ice Age: Collision Course, but we can make a lot of guesses off that new title alone. The main voice cast is returning, with Sid, Manny, Diego and Ellie once again being voiced byJohn Leguizamo,Denis Leary,Ray RomanoandQueen Latifah. New cast additions includeKeke Palmer,Wanda Sykesand retired talk show hostJay Leno. No further character announcements have been made.
The franchise first kicked off in 2002 with the originalIce Age. It has since spawned three sequels aside from Ice Age: Collision Course. They include 2006’sIce Age: The Meltdown, 2009’sIce Age: Dawn of the Dinosaursand 2012’sIce Age: Continental Drift. It’s unclear how many more sequels are planned for these should-be extinct animals. So far, the series has pulled in a cumulative gross of $729.6 million in the states and $2.8 million worldwide. The last two installments have grossed over $850 million worldwide. With the gap between movies even longer this time, audiences will surely flock to Ice Age: Collision Course to visit with their old friends yet again, insuring another blockbuster outing.
