Igor gets Cusack

John Cusack has signed on to replace Christian Slater as the lead in the upcoming CG movie IGOR for director Tony Leondis (LILO & STITCH 2). If my name was that close anyway, I’d give serious consideration to change it to Tony ‘Leonidas’. That would be awesome. You could get anything green-lit if your name was Leonidas. He could be like “… yes, a comedy about a bubble that is created when a man played by Jack Black farts in the bath, and the adventures he has with the toothbrush voiced by Carrot-Top” and the studio would be all “Tony, that’s madness”, to which he’d go “Madness?….” well, you know how it would play out.

Cusack will play Igor in the comedy about a brilliant scientist who is unfortunately born with a hump on his back. He serves cruel Dr Glickenstein (John Cleese), but invents Eva (Molly Shannon), a giant monster in the hopes of winning the annual evil science fair.

Sean Hayes (WILL AND GRACE) also joined the cast, which includes Jeremy Piven (SMOKIN’ ACES) and Jay Leno.
