One trailer for DreamWorks Animation’s new extra-terrestrial comedy adventure **Home arrived online back in June. Here’s the new promo, which once again plays up the buddy bonding aspects between the main alien critter and his new human friend. And a cat...
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 realise that 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?
Oh is a clumsy goofball who has alienated – pun intended – himself from the rest of his race and Tip soon discovers why. Apparently he’s a sucker for music, even though he doesn’t understand what it does to his body and is afraid he may die.
Jennifer Lopez, Matt Jones and Dominique Monfery also lend their voices to the film, which invades UK screens on March 20.
