New Line Cinema has found their talent for Planet 51 by launching Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jessica Biel, Seann William Scott and Justin Long into orbit.
Planet 51 Gets Cast
New Line Cinema acquired the North American film rights to Planet 51 back in November. The film revolves around a group of residents on the eponymous planet who fear an alien invasion. Johnson will play astronaut Capt. Charles "Chuck" Baker, who arrives from Earth and confirms their worst fears. He's forced to avoid capture so he can find his spaceship and return home.
Jorge Blanco directed the $60 million CG animation off a script by Joe Stillman.
Planet 51 marks New Line's first animated feature ever.
