Touchstone Pictures has released the trailer for
Gnomeo & Juliet,
an animated family adventure opening February 11th, 2011.
The greatest love story ever told, starring…garden gnomes? In “Gnomeo & Juliet,” Shakespeare's revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by
Kelly Asbury (co-director of “Shrek 2”) and showcasing both classic and original songs by
Elton John, the film features the voices of
James McAvoy and
Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find a happy ending?
The script was co-written by newcomers
Rob Sprackling and
John R. Smith.
Michael Caine, Jason Statham, Maggie Smith, Patrick Stewart, Stephen Merchant, Matt Lucas, Jim Cummings, Julie Walters, Richard Wilson and
Ozzy Osbourne also provided their voices.
