Tony Leondis has been hired to direct Exodus Film Group's CG-animated comedy
Igor, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature follows hunchbacked lab assistant Igor (voiced by Christian Slater) who dreams of becoming a scientist like his devilish boss (John Cleese) and winning a first-place award at the annual Evil Science Fair. Steve Buscemi will voice the role of Igor's smart but grumpy lab rabbit.
The project begins production early next year.
