I guess when it comes to voicing animated films the names Gilbert Gottfried, Chevy Chase and Christopher Lloyd sound good, and that trio will be joined by Katey Sagal and Wallace Shawn in Jack and the Beanstalk. However, this is a live-action film with bits and pieces of voicework involved.
Gottfried will play a goose that lays golden eggs and word is that James Earl Jones is in negotiations to voice the Giant.
Sagal will play the concerned mother of Jack (Colin Ford), Shawn will play the pawnbroker who sells Jack his magic beans while Chase has a cameo as the keeper of a labyrinth Jack must traverse to meet the giant. Veteran character actor Daniel Roebuck will play the mayor of Jack’s hometown.
Production is underway for Gary DePew’s Avalon production company.
