Bristol’s favourite sons, Aardman animation (sit down JLC), are back in a big way. Not only is their upcoming ARTHUR CHRISTMAS tipped to be one of the major festive hits this year, but 2012 sees the release of this little swashbuckler, PIRATES! AN ADVENTURE WITH SCIENTISTS.
The film boasts an impressive voice-cast of Hugh Grant, Brendan Gleeson, Jeremy Piven, Salma Hayek, and Martin Freeman. The film follows the appropriately named Pirate Captain (Grant), who is determined to defeat his longtime rivals Black Bellamy (Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Hayek) for the Pirate of the Year Award.
As is always the case with Aardman, expect big laughs and imaginative animation. Check out the new trailer below.
PIRATES! AN ADVENTURE WITH SCIENTISTS is directed by Peter Lord and Jeff Newitt. It arrives in cinemas March 2012.
