Source: Blackfilm Writer Karey Kirkpatrick spoke to Blackfilm, while at a press junket for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," and he mentioned Nick Nolte, Catherine O'Hara, William Shatner, Steve Carell, Eugene Levy and Wanda Sykes will be joining already announced Bruce Willis and Garry Shandling in the animated feature, Over the Hedge for Dreamworks. Also, mentioned was Avril Lavigne, who's making her big screen debut playing William Shatner's daughter. In the film, Bruce Willis will voice the mischievous con-artist raccoon R.J., and Garry Shandling will be the voice of the sensitive turtle named Verne. When R.J., Verne and their woodland friends find a suburban housing development encroaching on their forest home, Verne's first instinct is to retreat into his shell and leave, but the ever-opportunistic R.J. sees a treasure trove to be had from his unsuspecting new neighbors. Together, Verne and R.J. form an unlikely friendship as they learn to co-exist with -- and even exploit -- this strange new world called suburbia. {mosgoogle}
