The Owls of Ga'Hoole - Movie & Book Series

Legend Of The Guardians is a beautifully animated movie about the owl world based on the book series, Guardians of Ga'Hoole by Kathryn Lasky. The story begins in a forest kingdom with the birth of a Barn Owl named Soren (voice by Jim Sturgess) who falls into the wings of evil minded owls. With the help of his new friends, Soren escapes and must find a way to bring peace back to their lands.

The movie is still in production and is being directed by Zack Snyder (300 and Watchmen) fame, is being produced by the creators of Happy Feet. The cast includes the voices of Emilie de Ravin (Remember Me) as Eglantine, Ryan Kwanten (True Blood) as Kludd, Helen Mirren and Hugo Weaving.

The soundtrack features a new single, Kings And Queens by 30 Seconds To Mars which suits the movie beautifully. I actually get chills every time I watch the trailer because the music soars amidst the scenery and the wings of the owls!

Legend of the Guardians is going to be a visual masterpiece, but the message of honesty, true friendship, and bravery is the heart of the story. Watch for it in theaters September 24, 2010 and check out the book series while you wait to see it on the big screen.

    I haven't heard of this series before so thank you for the introduction! It looks like something I'd like to watch. Will have to check out the soundtrack too! (Anything that involves Jim Sturgess and Jared Leto is automatically cool in my book!) (:
