In March, DreamWorks Animation premiered** **a short film called Almost Home to introduce the weird alien creatures from their new feature, Home, about extra-terrestrials called the Boov who decide Earth should be their new domicile. Now here comes the trailer for Home, which focuses on a different aspect of the story.
brightcove.createExperiences();Home, adapted from Adam Rex’s book The True Meaning Of Smekday, finds Steve Martin as Captain Smek, the overly confident leader of the Boov. When they arrive and successfully conquer the Earth, all but a handful of humans are relocated. But when one resourceful girl, Tip, (Rihanna) manages to avoid capture, she finds herself the accidental accomplice of a banished Boov named Oh (Jim Parsons). The two fugitives realize there’s a lot more at stake than intergalactic relations as they embark on a life-altering road trip. Can they save the human race?
This new promo is almost entirely about Tip and Oh (he is so named because the clumsy Boov inspires people to sigh "Oh." whenever he arrives and inevitably screws up), and their mismatched buddy comedy. Jennifer Lopez, Matt Jones and Dominique Monfery also lend their voices to the film, which invades UK screens on December 5.
