New ‘Minions’ Trailer
So how do the Minions find their latest super villain to work for? We find out in the latest trailer for Minions, the animated prequel to the Despicable Me series, out July 10.
In the new Minions trailer, Kevin, Stuart and Bob are on the road to Orlando. Orlando is the location of the 1968 Villain-Con, an evil version of Comic-Con where everyone just wants to see Scarlet Overkill, played by Sandra Bullock. Before that though, a convention of villains is ripe for jokes and visual gags, which this latest Minions trailer is full of. Below, check it out along with a new one sheet.
The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. After accidentally killing off so many of them—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without a master to serve and fall into a deep depression. Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film.
