Animated films in the U.S. that are big enough for international releases (most of them really) means international stars voicing the parts original done by American stars. We just revealed that Mathieu Amalric and Isabelle Huppert are doing George Clooney and Meryl Streep’s parts in Wes Anderson’s upcoming animated film, “Fantastic Mr. Fox.”
Now we’ve learned of more French casting, this time for France’s version of Spike Jonze’s “Where The Wild Things Are.” We don’t have the entire cast list yet, but we’ve learned that Charlotte Gainsbourg will be voicing the part of KW, which is done by Lauren Ambrose in the original (who actually replaced Michelle Williams). That’s pretty cool, we wonder who does Carrol and the rest of the sad clan (they should teach Williams and Tom Noonan French so they can get their due, both recorded voices for ‘Wild Things’ and both were eventually replaced)?
Coincidentally, we just revealed the tracklist and album cover of Gainsbourg’s new album IRM which is co-produced and written by Beck and due stateside in January.
