Carrey 'Hears a Who!'
Jim Carrey and Steve Carell will lend their vocal talents to a CGI version of 'Horton Hears a Who'.
Sep 13 2006
Having donned a big, green, hairy prosthetic suit to play the title character in 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas', Jim Carrey is returning to Dr Seuss territory by lending his voice to another big screen adaptation.
Carrey will voice Horton the elephant in a CGI version of the children's classic 'Horton Hears a Who!', which was first published by Seuss (real name Ted Geisel) in 1954.
The story revolves around the titular elephant hearing a cry from help emanating from a tiny speck of dust and deciding to help, much to the astonishment of his friends.
Steve Carell, currently packing them into London cinemas with 'Little Miss Sunshine', will voice the mayor of Who-ville in the 20th Century Fox production, which is set to hit screens in March 2008.
'Geisel had one of the greatest imaginations of the 20th century and Jim Carrey's extraordinary talents are a wonderful match to Geisel's vision' said Fox animation president Chris Meledandri. He added 'Steve Carell will not only be bringing his great comedic abilities to the role of the mayor but also his uncanny gift for finding the humanity in every character he plays.'
