Brash Ent. is developing a video game based on the upcoming CG-animated feature Space Chimps from Vanguard Animation and Starz Media. The interactive title will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Wii and Nintendo DS this summer. The release will be timed with the debut of the movie, which will be distributed to theaters by Twentieth Century Fox on July 18.
Produced by John H. Williams (Shrek, Shrek 2) and Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black, The Addams Family), and directed by Kirk DeMicco the Space Chimps movie will feature the voices of Andy Samberg (Saturday Night live), Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Patrick Warburton (Family Guy), Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) and Stanley Tucci (ER). The adventure-comedy follows the exploits of a mischievous circus chimp named Ham (Samberg), who happens to be the grandson of the first primate ever sent into space. As a publicity stunt, Ham is chosen to lead a mission into space to explore a mysterious new planet. When he and his crew crash land on the bizarre world and find their lives in peril, Ham must prove that he really does have the right stuff.
The video game will offer a unique storyline that chronicles the quest of Ham and Luna (Hines) as they overcome the perils of an alien planet in search of Earth’s lost Infinity Space Probe.
