Bosco685 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Andy Serkis and Thomas Brodie-Sangster to Star in Fox's 'Mouse Guard' (Exclusive) Quote Mouse Guard, Fox’s adaptation of one of the most popular indie comics of the decade, has found its leads. Andy Serkis and Thomas Brodie-Sangster have signed to star in the feature that is being directed by Wes Ball, the filmmaker behind the Maze Runner movies. Based on the comics and graphic novel by David Petersen, Mouse Guard is a set in a medieval world and tells of an order of mice who are the sworn protectors of their realm. Enemies range from predators such as foxes and eagles to other rodents. A sort of Game of Thrones with mice, the series from Archaia/Boom! Studios has won two Eisner awards Serkis is the villain of the piece, the Guard’s blacksmith known as Midnight who turns against it. Brodie-Sangster is Lieam, one of the Guard’s newest and youngest members who will be called upon to prove his bravery.

RedRaven Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm going to be ornery. I don't have a problem with these actors voicing the characters, but I would much rather see true voice actors taking these roles. There's an interview with Billy West where he expresses a lot of frustration at how voice actors are, for the most part, cut out of these big budget productions for the sake of the star's name power. He says something to the effect, "what the hell, they can only do one voice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRaven Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 See, this I was looking forward to. I guess Disney will spin the budget into another sure-fire and totally boring Marvel movie. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, you know. To do it right and make this an incredible experience they should have gone for $50M so we could complain later how cheap it looked.
