Leonardo DiCaprio Joins Cast of The Guardians

Posted on December 3, 2009

Leonardo DiCaprio is going where he has never gone before: into an animated film. Leo is set to voice a character based on Jack Frost in the new animated film, The Guardians. DreamWorks Animation is producing. Variety reports:

Just as DWA's "Shrek" offered a revisionist view of the fairy-tale universe, "The Guardians" reimagines five popular childhood heroes -- Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and Jack Frost -- as members of an elite superhero squad who join forces to fight an evil spirit named Pitch (which suggests there are at least five more juicy voice parts yet to be filled).
The high-concept variation hails a forthcoming series of books by William Joyce to be called "The Guardians of Childhood."

The release date is November 2, 2012. The other parts have yet to be cast. But the director will be Peter Ramsey who directed the DreamWorks Halloween special Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space. This is his feature film debut.
