Ryan Reynolds. He’s been trying hard hasn’t he? Happily, it seems that the lad has finally found something to dig his heels into and it looks utterly, yet amazingly, bonkers.
THE VOICES is directed by Marjane Satrapi and also has a great co-starring cast of Anna Kendrick, Gemma Arterton and Jacki Weaver. Reynolds plays Jerry, a singleton who works on the factory floor at a bathtub factory. He’s somewhat a simple soul and ever eager to get along with his co-workers, especially Fiona (Gemma Arterton) and Lisa (Anna Kendrick) from accounts.
After work Jerry goes home to his pet cat, Mr. Whiskers, and loyal dog Bosco, where the three of them hang out, watch TV and discuss the day’s events. When one night he accidentally kills Fiona, Jerry hastily covers his tracks, under the strict advice of the subversive Mr. Whiskers. Despite Bosco trying to keep Jerry on the straight and narrow, Mr. Whiskers seems to be the loudest voice in Jerry’s head and soon events have spiraled out of control. Oh, Reynolds voices all the animals….
We’re not kidding! Check out the trailer, it opens on March 20th:
THE VOICES opens in the UK on March 20th and in the USA on February 6th.
