A bunny drums his little heart out to the tune of Song 2 in the Hop trailer

Can’t resist the cuteness.

This isn’t much of a trailer for HOP but it does give you a look at the central character–the Easter bunny. Since when did the Easter bunny start wearing flannel shirts and learn to play the drums? It doesn’t matter! This is the hip, rock n’ roll Easter bunny!

What’s this blend of live-action and CGI all about? “Hop tells the comic tale of Fred (James Marsden), an out-of-work slacker who accidentally injures the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) and must take him in as he recovers. As Fred struggles with the world’s worst houseguest, both will learn what it takes to finally grow up.” That’s right that cute little bunny is voiced by Russell Brand. Unfortunately you don’t get to hear his voice in the trailer. All you get is that bunny playing drums on Blur’s “Song 2”. The film was directed by Tim Hill (ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS) and produced by Chris Meledandri’s Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me).
