Andy Serkis has unveiled the all-star voice cast for his long-gestating animated adaptation of George Orwell’s seminal 1945 novella Animal Farm, with Seth Rogen (The Studio) leading the pack as the power-hungry pig Napoleon. He, along with the other barnyard animals, will shepherd in a rebellion against their human owners in an attempt to take over the farm. However, under the staunch dictatorship of the tyrannical Napoleon, the herd will face new challenges and hardships, forcing them to find the courage to stand up against the patriarch.
The cast of Animal Farm also includes Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction), Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black), Kieran Culkin (Succession), Woody Harrelson (True Detective), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Kathleen Turner (Peggy Sue Got Married), and Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel). In addition to directing, Serkis (Andor) will also lend his voice to one of the animals, which, according to the IMDb page for the movie, will be the infamously cynical donkey, Benjamin.
