Supervillain Gru (Steve Carell) and his hilarious yellow sidekicks are back, as brand-new content from Illumination and Universal Pictures’ Minions: The Rise of Gru is out now, just in time for the Summer, when the mischievous Minions return to cinemas once again.
The exclusive new content is being shared as part of the Industry Trust’s Moments Worth Paying For campaign, which reminds audiences of the magic of watching films first on the big screen.
Watch the Minions misbehave as only they can, from Kevin hanging on to a tram for dear life and new character Otto pedalling an out-of-control bike through a lake – Minions: The Rise of Gru is another perfectly despicable adventure for all ages to enjoy on the big screen.
Featuring more spectacular action than any film in Illumination’s history and packed with the franchise’s signature subversive humour, Minions: The Rise of Gru stars a thrilling new cast, including, as the Vicious 6, Taraji P. Henson, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lucy Lawless, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, Michelle Yeoh and Oscar® winner Julie Andrews. The film is produced by Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri, Janet Healy and Chris Renaud and is directed by returning franchise filmmaker Kyle Balda. Minions: The Rise of Gru features the iconic voice of Pierre Coffin as the Minions and a killer ’70s soundtrack courtesy of legendary Grammy-winning music producer Jack Antonoff..
Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. When the infamous supervillain supergroup, the Vicious 6, oust their leader, Gru interviews to become their newest member, but instead finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to master the art of kung fu to save him, and Gru discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.
