Jerry Seinfeld's Bee
Movie is one of the more highly anticipated animated films,
mainly because people just want to see Seinfeld again. Matthew Broderick
costars as a voice in the movie, and he's used to playing English-speaking
animals.
Interview: Broderick on Bee Movie
"When I played the adult Simba in The
Lion King, I just didn't go roar, roar," he joked. "It's
a conceit that these little animals can talk. So I play Jerry Seinfeld's
nervous best friend. And I keep saying, 'Don't take so many chances.' It's
good, it's really fun to make."
Perhaps the bees will talk about Mulva or masters of their domain. At least
something in the vein of the classic bits. "It's very much his voice.
It's his humor obviously, but it's a new group of characters. It's pretty
sophisticated."
A live-action trailer showed the actors recording the voices. Rumor has
it Seinfeld is planning another one but Broderick does not know. "He
hasn't told me, so I don't think so. I think they're like about him and
other people. I don't think he's using other people from the movie. That
would be confusing."
Actually, Broderick isn't even sure who else is in the movie. "You
know, when you do these animated movies you don't, it's not like you get
there with the cast. I just go to the recording studio and do my part every
couple of weeks."
Bee Movie opens to theatres on November 2, 2007.
