It looks like some well known funnymen are going to be joining Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, we get the following news from the murky caves of Yahoo:
The original cast of the animated hit “Madagascar” will be joined by new names such as Bernie Mac and Alec Baldwin in “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,” which is scheduled for a November 7 release.
In the new story, Alex, Marty, Melman and their fellow zoo refugees find themselves marooned in Madagascar. They make it to Africa, where they encounter species of their own kind for the first time. Despite underwhelming reviews, “Madagascar” grossed over $193 million at the North American box office.
I am a fan of Bernie Mac and Alec Baldwin. They both make me laugh like mad when involved in projects that suit their style. Sadly, I don’t think Madagascar 2 will be one of those projects. Animated features are seldom able to capture the fire that a comedic actor can bring when they play themselves.
I am not a fan of the first Madagascar; because I haven’t seen it. For those of you that enjoyed the first film, what are your thoughts on the casting news?
