Jonah Hill will star alongside Tina Fey in its upcoming theatrical

villain Oobermind (Will Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man
(Brad Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, Oobermind
falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is
life without a point for him. So, he creates a new superhero rival,
Titan (Jonah Hill). Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super
villain, too. Caught in the middle, star reporter Roxanne Ritchi
(Tina Fey) asks the tough questions: Who can we turn to? Who has
what it takes to stand up to this menace? Who will defend the
innocent? Oobermind! That's who. "We are thrilled to welcome Will,
Brad and Jonah to Oobermind," said Bill Damaschke, Co-President of
Production & President of Live Theatrical for DreamWorks
Animation. "Together, our all-star cast will set the comedic tone
for this exciting new twist on the superhero genre." Oobermind is
being directed by Tom McGrath (Madagascar, Madagascar: Escape 2
Africa) and produced by Lara Breay and Denise Nolan Cascino. About
