<\/a>The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (SANDRA BULLOCK of The Blind Side, The Heat), the world\u2019s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation.<\/p>\n<\/a>Joining Kevin, Stuart, Bob, Scarlet and the rest of the Minions team is a cast of characters led by JON HAMM (TV\u2019s Mad Men, Bridesmaids) as Herb Overkill, Scarlet\u2019s mod-scientist husband; MICHAEL KEATON (Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), (Toy Story 3) as Walter Nelson, patriarch of his felonious troupe; ALLISON JANNEY (TV\u2019s The West Wing, Finding Nemo) as Madge, Walter\u2019s domestic villainess and purveyor of a number of crimes in the family name; STEVE COOGAN (Despicable Me 2, Philomena) as both Professor Flux, inventor of the world\u2019s first time machine, and the doddering Tower Guard, who is singlehandedly responsible for the protection of the Queen\u2019s priceless jewels; JENNIFER SAUNDERS (TV\u2019s Absolutely Fabulous, Shrek 2) as the surprisingly spry and ribald Queen Elizabeth II; and GEOFFREY RUSH (The King\u2019s Speech, Pirates of the Caribbean series) as the narrator who takes us along this fascinating and brilliant journey. Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the \u201960s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination founder and CEO CHRIS MELEDANDRI (Despicable Me series, Dr. Seuss\u2019The Lorax, Hop, Ice Age series), who, alongside JANET HEALY (Despicable Me series, Dr. Seuss\u2019 The Lorax), has produced all of the studio\u2019s films since its inception. The film is directed by PIERRE COFFIN (Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2) and KYLE BALDA (Dr. Seuss\u2019 The Lorax). BRIAN LYNCH (Hop, Puss in Boots) wrote the screenplay, and CHRIS RENAUD (Despicable Me series, Dr. Seuss\u2019 The Lorax) serves as executive producer of the film.<\/p>\n The core filmmakers are joined by a talented behind- the-scenes team of animators that includes production designer and character designer ERIC GUILLON (Despicable Me series, Dr. Seuss\u2019 The Lorax), editor CLAIRE DODGSON (Despicable Me series, Dr. Seuss\u2019 The Lorax) and composer HEITOR PEREIRA (Despicable Me series, It\u2019s Complicated).<\/p>\n Super-Villains and Bank Robbers: Who\u2019s Who in Minions? When they accidentally lose yet another master, Kevin, Stuart and Bob lead the charge for their fellow Minions in search of the next boss to serve. Their harrowing journey is far from easy, but the quest that is chronicled in Minions will introduce us to everything we\u2019ve ever wondered about them.<\/p>\n Kevin (Pierre Coffin) is the proud and protective \u201cbig brother\u201d who knows that Minions without a master are Minions without a purpose. It\u2019s Kevin who steps up and ventures out into the world with Stuart and Bob to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.<\/p>\n Stuart (Pierre Coffin) is the \u201cmiddle brother\u201d of the Minions who feels hungry, mostly, and loves being a rebellious guitar player. Although the perennial adolescent has a short attention span and is a bit apathetic about the mission, he will certainly help Kevin and Bob find the biggest, baddest villain to serve.<\/p>\n Bob (Pierre Coffin) is the innocent and eager \u201clittle brother\u201d of the Minions. He embodies unconditional love for everyone and everything, and is a little nervous to go on an unknown journey with Stuart and Kevin. The loyal, yellow, scheming and joyous Minions (Pierre Coffin) are a band of brothers who love causing mischief and mayhem almost as much as they love bananas. They are easily distracted and can be unpredictable, curious and subversively sweet. They are extremely competitive with \u2028each other. This can lead to sudden slap fights, but if someone from the outside tries to harm them or their master, they become fiercely protective.<\/p>\n Scarlet Overkill (Sandra Bullock) is the world\u2019s first female super-villain. She is a unique combination of quick- tempered and impeccably stylish. Kevin, Stuart and Bob are drawn to her for her ability to mastermind incredible heists, and they are simultaneously terrified of and smitten by her. Scarlet hires the Minions as her henchmen and charges them with their first mission: to embark on a criminal heist that takes them to London as she attempts to achieve her lifelong dream: becoming the Queen. Herb Overkill (Jon Hamm) is Scarlet\u2019s mod husband and a mad scientist. Herb can usually be found in the lab inventing extraordinary \u201960s-inspired gadgetry while always loving and supporting Scarlet. Known just as much for his swanky sartorial choices as he is for his ability to invent, there is nothing that Herb won\u2019t do to champion his wife.<\/p>\n When he\u2019s not a straight-laced, nerdy dad and devoted husband, Walter Nelson (Michael Keaton) is a quite-accomplished bank robber. You read that right. Walter is the patriarch of a crime-happy family of felons who meet Kevin, Stuart and Bob on their way to Villain-Con, a secret convention in Orlando where villains gather annually. If you\u2019re a Minion who has to hitchhike across the country, there are no better chaperones. \u2028\u2022 Madge Nelson (Allison Janney), the Bonnie to Walter\u2019s Clyde, shows you can never judge a book by its cover. Madge gleefully is the co-leader of the crime-happy Nelson family, who picks up the hitchhiking Kevin, Stuart and Bob to join Walter and their kids\u2014Walter Jr. (MICHAEL BEATTIE), Tina (KATY MIXON) and baby Binky (TARA STRONG) on their way to a family stickup. Meet Kevin, Stuart and Bob: Heroes Hit the Road<\/strong><\/p>\n As our story begins, the Minions are currently masterless in the frigid Antarctic, having grown despondent the more time they spend without a master to serve. Over the centuries, they have had such great intentions for their numerous bosses, but in true Minion fashion, they end up accidentally getting each and every one of their masters killed. When the Minions finally do meet Gru, they\u2019re more relaxed and less insecure. In 1969, however, they\u2019re still in the middle of a steep learning curve. While the majority of film projects concentrate on casting after the script has been written, when preparing Minions, it helped enormously that the three leading men would be vocalized by one of the directors himself. While Minionese is actually peppered with words from multiple languages, the Minions\u2019 physical comedy is what makes them universally accessible to moviegoers. Director Coffin\u2019s goal has long been for the audience to understand the intention of and the melodies behind what the Minions are saying, not necessarily the verbiage that comprises it. As they\u2019ve been around since the dawn of time\u2014and done their fair share of globetrotting\u2014the etymology of the Minions\u2019 language is quite international. And why\u2019s that? Well, whether it was learning the basics of ancient Egyptian from the Pharaoh, high-society French from Napoleon, proper Transylvanian from Count Dracula or simple grunts from the first of the brutish Homo sapiens, they\u2019ve served so many masters across the Earth. That written, Coffin was quite thoughtful in developing unique intonations and vocalizations to differentiate Kevin, Stuart and Bob. Professor Flux (Steve Coogan) has long postulated that time is, well, relative. When the Minions encounter him at Villain-Con, they found that he\u2019s invented a time machine and brought future versions of himself to help out in his lab. Now that he has (almost) perfected time travel, the professor is this close to changing what we\u2019ve long held to believe is the space-continuum….<\/p>\n The Tower Guard (Steve Coogan) is proof positive that age doesn\u2019t matter. When Kevin, Stuart and Bob are charged with breaking into the Tower of London to steal the Queen\u2019s jewels for Scarlet, they think it\u2019ll be a piece of cake to get past this hard-of-hearing and almost-blind old man. Little do they know that he\u2019s been waiting for them for a long time…. The Queen (Jennifer Saunders) has seen everything and ruled England for decades before the Minions hit her shore. And she\u2019s about to find out what happens when a super-villain plots to steal her Crown Jewels and take her out of the game for good. \u2028\u2022 The Narrator (Geoffrey Rush) bookends this chapter in Kevin, Stuart and Bob\u2019s journey and walks us through how our heroes came to be, what they\u2019ve been up to and just where they\u2019re going.<\/p>\n ABOUT THE CAST JON HAMM\u2019s (Herb Overkill) nuanced portrayal of the high- powered, philandering advertising executive Don Draper on AMC\u2019s award- winning drama series Mad Men has firmly established him as one of Hollywood\u2019s most talented and versatile actors. Hamm has earned numerous accolades, including a Golden Globe Award in 2008, Television Critics Association Award and a Critics\u2019 Choice Television Award in 2011, as well as multiple Primetime Emmy and Screen Actors Guild award nominations. Mad Men concluded its seventh and final season on May 17.<\/p>\n MICHAEL KEATON (Walter Nelson) garnered critical and public acclaim for his role as Riggan, a one-time celebrated, now washed-up actor battling to regain his ego and career by mounting a Broadway play.\u2028For his work in Birdman, Keaton was nominated for an Academy Award and won the Golden Globe, Independent Spirit and National Board of Review awards for Best Actor, as well as many other nominations and honors, including a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.\u2028Keaton first achieved national attention with the hit comedy Night Shift, followed by starring roles in such popular films as Mr. Mom, Johnny Dangerously and Dream Team. The incredibly versatile ALLISON JANNEY (Madge Nelson) has taken her place among a select group of actors who combine a leading lady\u2019s profile with a character actor\u2019s art of performance. Currently starring alongside Anna Faris in the CBS\/Chuck Lorre sitcom Mom, Janney received rave reviews for her turn as Margaret Scully on Showtime\u2019s groundbreaking drama Masters of Sex.<\/p>\n STEVE COOGAN (Professor Flux\/Tower Guard), born and raised in Manchester, U.K., trained as an actor at the Manchester School of Theatre. In 1992, Coogan won the Edinburgh Festival Fringe\u2019s Perrier Award for his show Paul Calf Video Diary, which went on to also win a BAFTA. JENNIFER SAUNDERS (The Queen) is one half of the comedy duo French and Saunders and an original member of The Comic Strip. Saunders wrote and starred in the BBC series Absolutely<\/p>\n Fabulous.\u2028Saunders co-wrote and acted in Girls on Top, The Life & Times of Vivienne Vyle and Jam & Jerusalem (Clatterford).<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/strong>SANDRA BULLOCK (Scarlet Overkill) is one of Hollywood\u2019s most sought-after leading ladies, whose films have grossed more than $3.6 billion worldwide. In 2013, Bullock received her second Academy Award\u00ae nomination for Best Actress for her role as Dr. Ryan Stone in Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n\u2019s critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller Gravity, opposite George Clooney. Her portrayal also garnered her nominations for the Critics\u2019 Choice, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards as well as her first BAFTA nomination.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
