Love lends her voice and talent.....

ATLANTA, GA – Atlanta-based Fathom Studios today confirmed actress/singer Jennifer Love Hewitt and comedic actor Chris Kattan have joined Val Kilmer, Michael Clarke Duncan, Eric Idle, and Lou Gossett, Jr. in the voice cast for the animated adventure “Delgo,” the first independently produced computer-animated feature in the U.S.

Jennifer Love Hewitt (The Tuxedo, I Know What You Did Last Summer) is voicing Princess Kyla, a spunky and beguiling Princess with a big heart and an even bigger attitude. SNL alum Kattan (Undercover Brother, Corky Romano) is voicing Filo, a fast-talking, wise-cracking smart-aleck.  

“I am thrilled to be a part of this movie,” said Hewitt. “Princess Kyla is very cool and fun; girls will really love her. The look of ‘Delgo’ is unlike anything I’ve seen before and the story has a lot of heart.”

Set in a divided land where a troubled youth and some unlikely friends must save the world from itself, “Delgo,” is a fantasy adventure film combing action, humor and romance.  

“I am delighted Jennifer and Chris are a part of our voice cast,’” said Marc F. Adler, co-director and producer. “Jennifer has amazing range and her personal charm comes through in everything she does. Chris is one of the funniest men in Hollywood. We cannot imagine anyone else voicing these roles.”

Kattan and Hewitt join an all-star cast, including critically acclaimed actor Val Kilmer (The Doors, Real Genius) voicing Bogardus, a fearless and cocky street-smart soldier; comedian and cult icon, Eric Idle (Monty Python) voicing Spig, a bumbling, pompous—yet dimwitted—imp; Oscar Ó nominee Michael Clarke Duncan (Daredevil, The Green Mile) voicing Elder Marley, a mystical Stonesage master and the mentor to Delgo, a brash teenager who is haunted by his past, and Oscar Ó winner Lou Gossett, Jr. (An Officer and A Gentleman) is voicing the benevolent King Zahn.

The hero, Delgo--along with several other characters--has been recorded and will be announced this summer.

“Delgo” has created a worldwide following largely due to the Digital Dailies, a message board on the movie’s Web site (www.delgo.com) where the studios’ production teams post selected works-in-progress, allowing fans to follow artist collaboration and watch the making of the film as it happens.
