Simon Pegg Freezes Over
Joins voice cast of Ice Age 3

Simon Pegg Freezes Over

The Ice Age franchise just got a little bit more exciting with the news that Simon Pegg has signed on to provide a voice to Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. The Star Trek star will voice a character called Buck, a "larger than life, swashbuckling, one-eyed weasel". Best character description ever.

The story sees Buck help mammoth Manny (Ray Romano), sloth Sid (John Leguizamo) and sabretooth tiger Diego (Dennis Leary) when they fall into the lost world beneath the Ice Age where dinosaurs still roam*. Buck has a Captain Ahab-alike obsession with the Baryonyx dinosaur Rudy, who's the reason he's one-eyed and whose tooth he carries with him.

Queen Latifah, Josh Peck and Seann William Scott also star, with Carlos Saldanha directing. Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs will be out on July 1.

I agree with BudBaxter
This story makes absolutely no sense considering the imminent release of the film. Unless its one of those Shrek 2 style things when they had British 'celebs' doing voices for the Uk version and US stars in the US version (on which note, Larry King's voice worked far better than Jonathon Ross's for their character). But then again, that isn't very likely either because Simon Pegg is hot like a potato pretty much everywhere right now so he'd prob be a universal casting choice. I reckon it'll p... Read More

Eh?
You don't sign onto an animated feature three months before the release date! Or is this just a very very late announcement? Don't they record the voices about a year or two before the film comes out so they can match the animation to the voices? ... Read More
