Personally, I think Sandra Bullock is a hack. Her Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side was one of the worst wins ever in the category. I thought her performance was uninspired. No matter what happens I will probably never see her as anything other than a go-to romantic comedy actress. Snore.
Well it appears that Bullock will be lending her considerable acting "talents" to an animated feature in the near future. According to "Deadline" Bullock is set to play Scarlet Overkill (really?) in a spinoff to the Despicable Me movie entitled Minions. Here's the plot:
"This spinoff establishes that Minions have existed since the beginning of time, in service of history’s most ambitiously evil villains. Through their lovable ineptitude, Minions have managed to thwart and ultimately kill all of those bad guys. This story picks up in the 1960s, before they hench-ed for Gru. After wiping out all their masters, the Minions fall into a collective depression and three of them set out to seek a new evil master. They wind up at a villain convention, where they compete for the right to be henchmen for Scarlet Overkill, whose Audrey Hepburn-like high style appearance belies her world domination ambition and her aspirations to become the world’s first female super-villain."
The minions were easily the best part of Despicable Me and I'm pleased that they are getting their own film. Despite my earlier statements I actually think Bullock will do well in this role. At least she won't be in front the camera.
Despicable Me 2 opens July 3rd this year and Minions is set to release December 19, 2014.
