Samuel L. Jackson and Paul Giamatti join Ryan Reynolds for Dreamworks Animation’s Turbo

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Samuel L. Jackson and Paul Giamatti aren’t the only ones joining Dreamworks next animated feature TURBO.

In addition to Jackson and Giamatti, Michael Pena, Luis Guzmán, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Ken Jeong, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Kurtwood Smith, and Snoop Dogg are also joining the already attached Ryan Reynolds for the feature.

So what’s this thing even about? Well, the above photo might be a little help to you, but here’s a synopsis since it isn’t entirely clear:

“An ordinary garden snail (Reynolds) with dreams of racing greatness. His obsession with speed and all things fast has made him an oddity and outsider in the slow and cautious snail community, and a constant embarrassment to his careful older brother. When he is one day imbued with the power of amazing speed, he embarks on a quest that will see him racing in the Indianapolis 500.”

David Soren (MERRY MADAGASCAR) is set to direct the film based on his original concept. Robert Siegel (THE WRESTLER) and Darren Lemke (SHREK FOREVER AFTER) partnered up for the script. TURBO is due to release on July 19, 2013.
