Hewitt: No Delgo Date Yet


	HEWITT: NO "DELGO" DATE YET

Release Date: July 17, 2006

Press Release: Scifi Channel

Jennifer Love Hewitt, who voices the lead female character in the upcoming animated fantasy film Delgo, told SCI FI Wire that the film doesn't have a release date yet, though she's been recording her part over the last couple of years. "Yeah, I have no idea when it's coming out," Hewitt said in an interview over the weekend. "I've been doing the voiceover part of that over, like, a two-year period, so I have no idea when it's coming out."

In the animated movie, Hewitt plays Kyla, a winged princess who is a member of a race warring with another, earthbound species of humanoid, but who finds herself falling in love with its scion, a young man named Delgo (voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr.).

"I kind of play this princess bug-fly-fairy thing [laughs]," Hewitt said. "I don't know what she is. I should have done more character work maybe [laughs]. But she has wings, and she's pretty, and it's kind of like Romeo and Juliet in the bug-fairy-insect world."

The official Delgo Web site said the movie is "an original tale set in a magical world combining action, humor and romance ... a fantasy adventure film featuring epic battles, devious traitors, bizarre monsters and thrilling aerial chases." It describes Kyla as "a spunky and beguiling princess with a big heart and bigger attitude. Feisty and daring, Kyla balances her mischievous spirit with charming optimism."

Created by Marc Adler and Jason Maurer and Atlanta-based Fathom Studios, Delgo's cast also includes Anne Bancroft, Val Kilmer, Lou Gossett Jr., Eric Idle and Burt Reynolds.
