Charlotte's Web
Paramount has released the second trailer for their
upcoming adaptation of Charlotte's
Web.
Charlotte's Web Trailer
A live-action/photo real CG animated feature adaptation
of E.B. White's Charlotte's Web starring Dakota
Fanning as Fern. Julia Roberts will lend her vocals in the lead role of
Charlotte A. Cavatica, a spider and heroine of the book who goes out of
her way to save Wilbur the pig's life by weaving miraculous words into her
webs.
Also providing voices are Oprah Winfrey as Gussy the barn's maternal yet
irreverent goose; John Cleese as Samuel the sheep; Steve Buscemi as the
barn's sardonic Rat Templeton. Cedric The Entertainer will play opposite
Oprah as the other Goose - Golly. Reba McEntire and Kathy Bates will voice
the barn's ironic cows; Betsy and Bitsy and Thomas Haden Church will voice
Brooks, one of two dimwitted crows opposite Andre Benjamin (Andre 3000)
as Elwyn the other crow.
The CG mixed with live-action looks pretty impressive,
but it is still hard to make an honest impression until we see the trailer
in a larger format. The only issue I had was with Charlotte A. Cavatica's
face. There is no texture to it and it looks like a perfectly flat surface;
so bad that it was distracting. Hopefully this feature will look much better
when the trailer comes out to Quicktime or hi-res Windows Media. Her body
and movements looked good though.
Check out the second trailer for Charlotte's Web at Moviefone.
Charlotte's Web opens to theatres on December
20th.
