From iwatchstuff, DreamWorks has passed along some new information about upcoming kiddie-style B-movie, Monster Aliens, including the above shot of a giant gaunt woman and some monsters, a cast list, and the bitter threat of even higher ticket prices.
Reese Witherspoon as Susan Murphy, a modern-day California girl who has the bad luck to be hit by a meteor on her wedding day and grows to be 49 feet, 11½ inches tall (a wink at 1958's The Attack of the 50-Foot Woman). Captured by the military, she's renamed Ginormica.
Joining her giantess to fend off Rainn Wilson's evil alien Gallaxhar are Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), the jellylike B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) and the half-ape, half-fish Missing Link (Will Arnett). Kiefer Sutherland speaks for Gen. W.R. Monger (get it?), and Stephen Colbert is the president.
Good to hear Rogen could find time from being in every other comedy to join this, and that they were able to nail several quirky television actors popular with hip, young demographics--hearing the voices of House and Dwight Schrute should distract me from the mediocre attempt at one-upping Pixar--but what's the deal with the higher ticket prices?

Anybody else think Ginormica looks a tad similar to Mirage, Syndrome's assistant from "The Incredibles?"

(sorry, I don't have my hyperlink instructions at home...)
Mirage could use some skin on her bones. That kind of unrealistic anorexic portrayal of women in movies causes etc.
None of that explains the humongous chipmunk in the background. I was more psyched about Monsters vs. Aliens before I saw this picture.
That reminds me that JPX never got back to us re: Alvin and the Chipmunks.
