The trailer for Paramount Pictures’ next animated feature, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, has been released and met with positive reactions!
Even before the trailer begins, it’s obvious that Samuel L. Jackson had the time of his life working on this film. Who else is thrown off by Michael Cera?
For those that have been following this film through its development will know that it was originally announced to be titled Blazing Samurai back in February 2015 with a release for 2017. But after all that time, changes in animation studios, rights-holders, directors, producers, distributors, and of course release dates, the film is finally set for release this summer.
Synopsis: A hard-on-his-luck hound Hank (Michael Cera) finds himself in a town full of cats who need a hero to defend them from a ruthless villain’s (Ricky Gervais) evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant teacher (Samuel L. Jackson) to train him, our underdog must assume the role of town samurai and team up with the villagers to save the day. The only problem… cats hate dogs! Also starring Mel Brooks, George Takei, Aasif Mandvi, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Hounsou, Michelle Yeoh, Kylie Kuioka, and Cathy Shim, PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK pounces into theatres July 15, 2022.
