AARDMAN have revealed the first look teaser trailer for Nick Park’s new prehistoric comedy adventure EARLY MAN and it’s a little belter.
Not only that but they have also revealed a whole host of British comedy talent will be joining Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hiddleston and Maisie Williams on the cast list such as; Timothy Spall as Chief Bobnar and “The Tribe” played by Richard Ayoade as Treebor, Selina Griffiths as Magma, Johnny Vegas as Asbo (quite a fitting name there), Mark Williams as Barry, Gina Yashere as Gravelle and Simon Greenall as Eemak.
Nick Park commented “Today we get to meet Dug’s tribe, a lovable bunch of misfits voiced by some exceptional British talent. They’re essentially a group of inept cavemen and women including Treebor, played by Richard Ayoade, a gentle giant scared of his own shadow; Magma, Treebor’s no-nonsense mother voiced by Selena Griffiths and Mark Williams as Barry, whose best friend is a rock. Chief Bobnar, voiced by the brilliant Timothy Spall, leads the pack as their long-suffering leader, and father figure to his tribe of idiotic brutes.”
