Nicolas Cage and Ryan Reynolds have signed on to voice THE CROODS, a 3D animated film that’s set for release in March of 2012. Kirk DeMicco and Chris Sanders will co-direct the film, impressive given they were the announced directors all those years ago. The film will star Cage as Crug, a caveman who leads his family into new living quarters after an earthquake destroys their home. Along the way they meet a caveman who’s slightly more evolved (Reynolds).
While Cleese wrote the original screenplay, it’s unclear if he’ll get a writing credit on this new project. He’s currently credited with “developing” the movie.
