opened on 4th Nov.
Oscar (Will Smith) is a fast-talking little fish who dreams big.
But his big dreams land him in hot water when a great white lie
turns him into an unlikely hero. At first, his fellow fish swallow
Oscar?s story hook, line and sinker and he is showered with fame
and fortune. It?s all going along swimmingly, until it starts to
become clear that Oscar?s tale about being the defender of the Reef
is all wet. Oscar is finding out that being a hero comes at a
Market Price when his lie threatens to make him the Catch of the
Day. Now he has to tread water until he can get the scales to tip
back in his favor again.
"Shark Tale" stars the voices of Will Smith as Oscar, a hustler,
who has always been able to fin-agle his way out of trouble, until
now; two-time Academy Award? winner Robert De Niro ("Raging Bull,"
"The Godfather, Part II") as Don Lino, a great white shark at the
top of the Reef?s food chain; two-time Oscar? nominee Renée
Zellweger ("Chicago," "Bridget Jones?s Diary") as Angie, a
beautiful angel fish who harbors a secret crush on Oscar; Academy
Award? winner Angelina Jolie ("Girl, Interrupted") as Lola, the
femme fatale, a dragon fish who uses her feminine wiles to get what
she wants; Jack Black ("School of Rock") as Don Lino?s son Lenny, a
great white shark who is a closet vegetarian; and multiple
Oscar?-nominated director Martin Scorsese ("Gangs of New York,"
"Goodfellas") as Sykes, a puffer fish who is full of hot air and
never misses an opportunity to make a few extra clams.
Rounding out the main cast are: veteran actor Peter Falk
("Columbo") as Don Brizzi, a shark who is long in the tooth, but
still has plenty of bite left; Michael Imperioli ("The Sopranos")
as Don Lino?s oldest son Frankie, a chip off the old shark; Vincent
Pastore ("The Sopranos") as Luca, an oily octopus, which makes him
the perfect right-hand man; and Doug E. Doug and Ziggy Marley as
Bernie and Ernie, two Rastafarian jelly fish with a stinging sense
of humor.
"Shark Tale" is directed by Eric "Bibo" Bergeron and Vicky Jenson,
with Rob Letterman serving as co-director. Bill Damaschke, Janet
Healy and Allison Segan are producing.
