A full trailer for the sequel to Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s awesomely unfaithful adaptation of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is online. Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn take over as directors, working from a script by John Francis Daley (yes, Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks) and Jonathan M. Goldstein (The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Horrible Bosses).
The unimaginatively titled Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 doesn’t quite have the same zing that Miller and Lord brought to the first Cloudy, or Clone High, or even 21 Jump Street — but I’ll take it.
Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Neil Patrick Harris, Benjamin Bratt, Terry Crews (taking over for Mr. T), Will Forte, and Kristen Schaal provide the voices for the September 27, 2013, release.
