Early Man — U.S. Trailer

added: Wed, Nov 8th '17

Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne (Fantastic Beasts, The Theory of Everything) lends his voice to a prehistoric rabbit hunter in the new U.S. trailer for the British stop-motion comedy "Early Man," which is the latest feature from Aardman Animations, the studio that brought you "Wallace and Gromit" and "Chicken Run."

Directed by four-time Oscar-winning animator Nick Park (The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, A Close Shave), the animated comedy -- which also features the voices of Thor: Ragnarok's Tom Hiddleston and Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams -- takes place at the dawn of time; it's the moment when the Bronze Age literally asserts its supremacy over the Stone Age.

The action follows a bumbling caveman named Dug (Redmayne) and his loyal warthog sidekick "Hognob" as they try to save their clan and tribal homeland from being obliterated by the "Bronze City" tyrant, Lord Nooth (voiced by Loki himself, Hiddleston).

"Early Man" also co-stars Timothy Spall and comedian Richard Ayoade and will open in the U.K. on January 26, 2018, before arriving in the U.S. on February 16, 2018.

synopsis:
Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, EARLY MAN tells the story of how plucky caveman Dug (voiced by Eddie Redmayne), along with sidekick Hognob, unites his tribe against the mighty Bronze Age in a battle to beat them at their own game. It also marks Nick Park's first feature film since Academy-Award winning WALLACE AND GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT. Supported by accomplished screenwriter Mark Burton this new film unleashes an unforgettable cast of hilarious new characters.
