New Turbo Trailer Shows Taco Beds and a Wrestling Granny

Yahoo! has the latest trailer for DreamWorks' Turbo, a film that is increasingly looking like a cross between Cars and Ratatouille. But, y'know, with a snail.

That said, the trailer is a lot of fun, showing off some of the impressive visuals we've seen in previous footage, and some new story beats.  The old lady (voiced by The Hangover's Ken Jeong of all people) seems a fairly apt wrestler, breaking out sleeper holds and hurricanranas - she looks to be a lot of fun! Turbo also features the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Michael Peña and Samuel L. Jackson.

Turbo races into US cinemas on 17th July, but is stalling on the way to its more distant 18th October UK release.

New Turbo Clips Show DreamWorks' Snail Pit Crew

DreamWorks have released a couple of new clips from their next feature film, Tubro, over the last couple of weeks, focussing on the team of snails that rally around the titular racer. They're both fun and well animated, but the "Pit Stop" one in particular is far too close to Pixar's Cars for my liking: a slightly odd group of strangers who become friends with a racer and then help him out, complete with pep talk, on the day of the big race... Sounding a little too familiar.

Turbo-tastic New Clips for DreamWorks' Snail-Racing Comedy

No, not that Turbo-tastic. DreamWorks have released 5 new TV spots for Turbo, their Ryan Reynolds-starring, kinda-like-Cars-and-Ratatouille, raicin' snail comedy. And, should this apply to you, you can watch the previous trailer in 3D too (here).

Watch: Quite Fun New Trailer for DreamWorks' Turbo

Just ahead of their first release of 2013 (The Croods, which opens this Friday), DreamWorks have rolled out the first full theatrical trailer for their summer flick, Turbo. And it's actually pretty good.

I didn't like the teaser DreamWorks put out back in December. It was one-note and generic, and seemed like something DreamWorks would put out back in the bad old days of Shark Tale and Over the Hedge. This trailer, however, was a lot of fun - head on over to iTunes Movie Trailers to check it out.

New Teaser Poster for DreamWorks' Turbo

DreamWork' release their first film of 2013, The Croods, later this month. As such, the studio (and new distributor Fox) are beginning to slowly turn their promotional attention towards their next release, Turbo. Today that consists of a cool new teaser poster - well, cool design. Not so cool slogan.

Turbo sees an ordinary garden snail (voiced by Ryan Reynolds), with big dreams of becoming a super-speedy Indy-500 racer. In a fortuitous turn of events, the unsuspecting snail gets the Spider-Man treatment, when an accident imbues him with just the speed he needed. The film, whose premise I'm still not sold on, is directed by David Soren (Merry Madagascar) and has an all-star cast including Samuel L. Jackson and Paul Giamatti.

A tie-in series, Turbo: F.A.S.T. (Fast Action Stunt Team), is currently in production. Turbo hits US cinemas on 19th July, it arrives in the UK on 18th October. Check out the teaser trailer here.

DreamWorks To Launch First Netflix-Original Kids' Series with Turbo: F.A.S.T

It's been a tough few months for DreamWorks: Rise of the Guardians underperformed, there's been release date chaos, films have been scrapped, people are being let go; but, they are still, for the most part, doing business as usual. Yesterday, news broke that DreamWorks were working with Netflix to produce the streaming service's first original children's series.

DreamWorks Release Turbo Teaser Trailer

DreamWorks have released (via iTunes Movie Trailers) the first trailer for their snail-starring, Cars-like feature, Turbo. Turbo is directed by veteran DreamWorks story artist-turned director (Merry Madagascar), David Soren, and will be the second DreamWorks feature released under their distribution deal with 20th Century Fox - following The Croods in March.

DreamWorks Preview Their 2013 Movies

DreamWorks, fresh off a critical hit, if not a commercial one (yet), with Rise of the Guardians, are looking forward to 2013, where - under their new distribution deal with Fox - they will release three films. Towards the end of last week, some post surfaced about said films, which have been previewed for press at the Fox campus.

DreamWorks News - The Croods and Turbo

Over the last few weeks, several pieces of news have come to light concerning, arguably, the second biggest animation studio around today, DreamWorks Animation. The studio behind Shrek and Kung Fu Panda is infamous for rolling out an awful lot of films, as such, its roster of upcoming films is very substantial, including sequels, adaptations of short films, a spin-off Penguins of Madagascar movie, and an adaptation of Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants books. Included amongst these films, are two which I'm greatly anticipating: The Croods and Turbo.

Above you'll see a gorgeous new piece of artwork for The Croods, a caveman-era family comedy, directed by Chris Sanders (How to Train Your Dragon) and Kirk DeMicco (Space Chimps) and starring the voices of Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone. The artwork is vibrant and colourful and will hopefully imbue life and fun into the film. The Croods is scheduled for release on 22nd March, 2013.

Secondly, the voice cast for Turbo, the story of a snail with dreams of racing grandeur, has been revealed, along with another gorgeous, more iridescent, piece of artwork (above). Following on from starring in The Croods, Ryan Reynolds will headline Turbo (directed by David Soren) just a few months later on 19th July, 2013. Reynolds will be joined by Paul Giamatti, Michael Pena and Samuel L. Jackson.

On the casting of Reynolds as the lead, DreamWorks' Chief Creative Officer, Bill Damaschke said:

"Ryan Reynolds' infectious enthusiasm and humor will bring life to the lead role of Turbo and set the tone for this amazing roster of all-star voice talent. This high-octane journey will take audiences on the race of their lives and completely re-define the traditional notion of moving at a snail's pace!"

Details on DreamWorks' Turbo

Following on from last week where we found out some more details about DreamWorks' upcoming film, Monkeys of Mumbai, we get details on yet another animated film from DreamWorks' very busy upcoming slate.

Today, we learn more about a film named Turbo. The official Facebook pages for DreamWorks and for Turbo provide the following synopsis of the film:

"The story follows an ordinary garden snail who dreams of becoming the fastest snail in the world. When a freak accident gives him extraordinary speed, Turbo sets out to try to make his dream come true."

Directed by David Soren, written by Soren and Darren Lemke, with Ryan Reynolds voicing the title character; Turbo is due out, as of right now, on July 19, 2013.

I, personally, am liking this slate of upcoming DreamWorks films, I'm looking forward to this, Monkeys of Mumbai and The Croods amongst others and DreamWorks have definitely been heading in the right direction over the past couple of years.
