I didn’t remember ever hearing anything about a movie called Battle for Terra, but in a quick search it looks like way back in March of 2007 I posted a casting note when the film was simply named Terra and didn’t have a major distributer.
Today Moviefone announced the first trailer for CG-animated film and boy does it carry a large voice cast including the likes of Evan Rachel Wood, Brian Cox, Luke Wilson, David Cross, Justin Long, Amanda Peet, Dennis Quaid, James Garner, Chris Evans, Rosanna Arquette and Chad Allen. Unfortunately the director, Aristomenis Tsirbas, is someone I have never heard of, but apparently he was a digital artist on the first Hellboy and even Titanic and he wrote and directed an animated short based on the Terra idea back in 2003.
The film centers on a peaceful alien planet that faces annihilation, as the homeless remainder of the human race sets its eyes on Terra. Mala, a rebellious Terrian teenager, will do everything she can to stop it.
It is set to hit theaters opposite Wolverine on May 1. Check out the trailer below.
