If your cat and dog start talking to you, you’ve either just done a mountain of cocaine or you’re completely insane—like the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest kind of insane. Ryan Reynolds happens to be the latter in Marjane Satrapi’s The Voices, a clownshit off-the-wall nuts looking black comedy that sees a mentally imbalanced Reynolds take killing orders from Mr. Whiskers, his cat.
The trailer plays a lot like how I expect the film to, in that its playful insanity and black humor are its major strengths. That’s a good thing, though, because you get the sense that The Voices never takes itself too seriously. How could you, anyway? The movie is about a murderous nice guy who kills people because his cat tells him to. It’s so silly, yet so awesome.
THE VOICES is a genre-bending film which centers around Jerry, a lovable but disturbed factory worker who yearns for the attention of a woman in accounting. When their relationship takes a sudden turn, we follow Jerry’s perspective as his talking pets, a sinister cat and benevolent dog, lead him down a fantastical, murderous path.
Also starring Anna Kendrick, Gemma Arterton and Jacki Weaver, The Voices will make noise in theaters and VOD on February 6th.
This looks hilarious!
I love how dopey the dog sounds. It’s perfect!
Yeah it is!
This actually looks really funny, this is definitely going on my list 🙂
It really does. It’s such dark humor and the contrast between the cat and dog is hilarious. Hoping for a good one!
I’m such a dog lover and a cat (I don’t want to say hater, but it’s close to that), so I’m very into the idea of the cat being bad and the dog being good, haha! How biased of me 😛
I suspected all along that cats were really like this. 😉
I think Ryan Reynolds would be really good in this film. It’s a different genre for him, isn’t it?
Haha, they probably are!
Reynolds is usually at his best when taking on humorous roles such as this one, so I have no doubt he’ll be great.
Roll over Citizen Kane and tell Battleship Potemkin the news, that genuinely looks like the best film ever made!
Hahah, that’s great!
That looks really fun 😀
Reynolds is perfect for this kind of movie, I’m excited to see how it turns out.
This is what Reynolds needs. Something fun and small and completely out of character. Really hope it works out for him 😀
Yeah pretty much. He always seems to be at his best when he takes on weird stuff like this.
Yes!! It’s awesome seeing the kinds of projects Ryan Reynolds is making himself available for these days. I’ve always known the guy to have talent.
