CHICAGO – Chicago’s John Cusack [16] will play a mad scientist’s hunchbacked lab assistant in the animated feature film “Igor” from The Weinstein Company. Igor’s greatest aspiration is to win a first-place prize at an annual evil science fair.
The film also features voice talent from Jay Leno, Arsenio Hall, Eddie Izzard, Molly Shannon, Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Jennifer Coolidge and James Lipton (who plays himself). “Igor” is slated for release on Sept. 19, 2008. The official teaser poster for the film was released on Thursday and can be viewed below. Our interview with Cusack on the film “Grace is Gone” can be listened to here [16].
