Nicolas Cage: 'G-Force' Hero!

Super producer Jerry Bruckheimer is bringing a new breed of hero to the big-screen -- in the form of highly trained, covert ops guinea pigs -- in 'G-Force,' out this Friday, and we're with Jerry, Nicolas Cage and Tracy Morgan, whose voices bring them to life!

"There was no way I was going to be a guinea pig," says Nic, who plays Speckles the mole, a computer and information specialist. "They're too cute and cuddly and domesticated for my liking. I need an animal that has a long tail and seems to say, 'I dare you to pick me up.'"

A high-octane comedy adventure that proves that size doesn't really matter, 'G-Force' finds the FBI's "pet project" shut down, with the high-tech guinea pigs forced into retirement at a local pet store. The plot shifts into high gear when the team discovers a plot to take over the world -- and the fate of humanity lies in their paws.

"The movie is about belonging to family, and I like that," says Nic. "There's nothing more sacred than the magical world of children. [Disney movies] help keep kids happy."

"The little boy inside of me just came alive; I just wanted to use my imagination," says Tracy about his character, Blaster, an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love of the extreme. "If I could be a guinea pig, what would I be like? Blaster was it."

The first 3D film to be produced by Bruckheimer, 'G-Force' also features Bill Nighy, Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, Sam Rockwell, Jon Favreau, Penelope Cruz and Steve Buscemi.

Meanwhile, in other 'G-Force' news, it has been announced that The El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood will offer audiences more than three and half hours of additional fun following the movie with "The G-Force Experience." The interactive attraction, featuring a number of family friendly games and activities, runs July 24 - September 7. For more info, go to www.elcapitantickets.com.
