Anna Paquin Loves Playing Tough Girl Roles

Pixar has never been afraid to get big name stars to do their films, even in roles that are generally small for the film itself. In their newest picture, The Good Dinosaur, they got Anna Paquin (who played Rogue in the X-Men franchise) to voice one of their T-Rex characters named Ramsey. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Paquin noted how she loves paying tough female characters. She stated: “It’s kind of what I always want to be and usually girls don’t get to be the badass lady. I mean, Sookie’s [True Blood] pretty badass, but she’s still girly, but she can take a s*** kicking. You know what I mean? She wears her high heels like they’re combat boots. I think that tough and strong is also incredibly feminine and I think that there’s a, sort of, misconception or feeling that that means you’re not feminine. I’m like, ‘Yeah, okay? Well, says you.’” She also mentioned former UFC women’s champion and MMA trailblazer, Ronda Rousey, saying: “I don’t know if you follow MMA

Disney and Pixar have released the latest full trailer for Pixar’s next upcoming CG animated feature The Good Dinosaur. You can check out the new trailer in the player below. The new video offers a better look at the story, since it has gone through some significant changes after the project’s initial reveal at D23 2013. It seems the basic premise of the story has changed. This is a world where dinosaurs never went instinct after a comet struck the earth. An Apatosaurus then befriends a feral human child. Those elements have changed, but it looks like the main Apatosaurus character, Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa), has been made into a much younger dinosaur who is separated from his pack and becomes lost in the wilderness. He then meets and befriends a young human child, and the the form an unlikely friendship. Originally, Arlo was going to be older, and he would come from a family of dinosaur farmers. That scenario has been jettisoned from the film. The new film

Walt Disney Studios has announced a new main voice cast for Pixar’s upcoming animated feature, The Good Dinosaur. Unfortunately, this means that a number of actors who were originally set to play certain roles have been re-cast. At the 2013 D23 Expo, a number of actors were announced for the film’s main roles. A number of those roles have now been changed. Speaking on the announcement, director Peter Sohn stated: “We were lucky to work with a number of incredible pros along the way and our story ultimately led us to this amazing and talented group. We’re all taking this journey with Arlo, and it’s been a privilege to see these performers bring our characters to life.” Previously, Disney and Pixar announced at the Expo that Lucas Neff, John Lithgow, Frances McDorman, Neil Patrick Harris, Judy Greer and Bill Hader had all been cast in main roles for the film. Lucas Neff has now been replaced in the cast by Raymond Ochoa (The Night Shift, Rizzoli & Isles) in the role

Pixar and dinosaurs. It seems like a combination that is a match made in heaven. The prestigious animation production company doing a CG animated feature starring dinosaurs sounds like a film that is guaranteed to hit it big at the worldwide box office. After a bit of a lengthy delay, the film is finally due out later this year, making 2015 a rare occasion that sees the release of two animated Pixar features in the same year. Earlier this week, Disney released a new teaser trailer for The Good Dinosaur, which you can check out below. The teaser trailer is similar to footage that was shown at the D23 Expo way back in 2013, showing the asteroid that was meant to hit the Earth and cause an extinction event that would wipe out the dinosaurs. However, in The Good Dinosaur, the story imagines what Earth would be like if the dinosaurs never went instinct. The asteroid never hits Earth, and dinosaurs are still the chief form of life on the
