But anyway, here we have our first look at Hop in the form of a teaser trailer. From the creators of Despicable Me, it’s pretty much a rabbit playing Blur’s “Song #2″ on the drums, though he seems to be having difficulties maintaining the beat or riding the hi-hat properly. That’s why I only recruited raccoons to join my band. Let’s show ‘em, Wookie and the Bandits! (Moviefone)

_{Russell Brand will be added in post.}

Before you start salivating, this movie isn’t about a tall stack smothered in maple syrup with a side of hash browns and sausage. Kaley Cuoco, Sheldon’s dreamy tall stack on The Big Bang Theory, has joined the Easter Bunny comedy (is that a thing?) I, Hop. Russell Brand and James Marsden are already set to star in the film that I’m sure will do for Easter what Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights did for Hanukkah.

Cuoco will play Marsden’s character’s sister, "who allows Marsden to live with her when he gets kicked out by his parents because he injures a big f*cking bunny rabbit and brings it home to live with him." Talk about a bad house guest! I just hope there’s a gag with him in a mailbox. That joke gets me every time.

Looks like Russell Brand has a new excuse to go flirt with the crones on The View. He’ll be loaning his British accent to the upcoming live-action/CGI hybrid flipper-baby I Hop, from director Tim Hill of Garfield and Chipmunks infamy. In the film, Brand voices the Easter Bunny who is accidentally injured by James Marsden‘s Fred, an out-of-work slacker. Fred must then take in the Bunny until he recovers. At first it’s rough going but in the end they both learn some important life lessons. Awwwww. I smell a sitcom! Or something far, far worse!!! Everyone check your shoes. (THR)
