Oscar nominated and Golden Globe winner Burt
Reynolds joins an all-star cast including, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Val Kilmer,
Michael Clarke Duncan, Chris Kattan, Eric Idle and Lou Gossett, Jr. in
voicing a character for the animated adventure "Delgo," the first
independently produced computer-animated feature in the U.S.
Burt Reynolds (Boogie Nights, Smokey and the Bandit) is voicing Delgo's
boisterous Father.
"
Delgo," a fantasy adventure film, is the first theatrical production from
Atlanta-based Fathom Studios. The film is set in a divided land where a
troubled youth and some unlikely friends must save the world from itself.
Reynolds joins an all-star cast, including critically acclaimed actor Val
Kilmer (The Doors, Tombstone) voicing Bogardus, a fearless and cocky
street-smart soldier; comedian and cult icon, Eric Idle (Monty Python)
voicing Spig, a bumbling, pompous-yet dimwitted-imp; Oscar nominee Michael
Clarke Duncan (Daredevil, The Green Mile) voicing Elder Marley, a mystical
Stonesage master; Oscar winner Lou Gossett, Jr. (An Officer and A Gentleman)
is voicing the benevolent King Zahn; and Oscar nominee Sally Kellerman
(M*A*S*H) is narrating the film.
"Delgo" has created a worldwide following largely due to the Digital
Dailies, a message board on the movie's website where the
studios' production teams post selected works-in-progress, allowing fans to
follow artist collaboration and watch the making of the film as it happens.
