05/10/2008: "English cast announced for Spain’s Spirit of the Forest"
The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Sean Astin, Giovanni Ribisi, Ron Perlman and Anjelica Huston will lend their voices to Spirit of the Forest, an eco-fairy tale for Fantastic Films International and Spain-based Dygra Films (The Living Forest, Midsummer Dream). Astin and Ribisi play two gopher friends whose home is threatened when an evil businesswoman (Huston) plans to tear down their forest to build a highway. With the help of an old oak tree (Perlman), the animals and their friends fight back with a vengeance. A teaser site is already up for Spirit of the Forest, which will be released in theaters this September in Spain and next year in most international territories.
