Patrick Plays Poop
1 min readSir Patrick Stewart has joined Sony Pictures Animation‘s The Emoji Movie.
In The Emoji Movie, “Gene (T.J. Miller), an emoji born with multiple expressions… teams up with the notorious code-breaker Jailbreak (Ilana Glazer) on an adventure through a teenager’s phone.”
Stewart will take on the role of Poop.
Others voicing characters include Jennifer Coolidge, May Rudolph, Alex, James Corden, Steven Wright, and Rob Riggle.
“I know what you’re thinking — WTF,” said Director Tony Leondis. “What is their story? Emoji are expected to be one thing their whole lives. So I thought, what if one was born with not one, but lots of expressions…and how would that affect the status quo? Everyone has felt different — it’s everyone’s story.”
The Emoji Movie will debut August 4. Hopefully it won’t be a pile of…well, you know what!
