Variety revealed last week that Rupert Grint would be lending his voice tot he main character of Foosball, an animated film just released in Spanish. Details of the film are as follows:
Grint will play “Foosball’s” hero Amadeo, a shy table soccer genius whose table soccer figures come alive to help him save his local town and win his childhood sweetheart, both threatened by a preening soccer mega-star.
“Foosball” will first be seen on Oct. 19 at the London Film Festival.
“Usually, at least in the U.K., if you have a foreign film, you’d subtitle,” Glynn said. “But ‘Foosball’ has huge potential and is a family film, and kids want films in their own language,” he added. Glynn “hopes and is confident” that he will see a lot more business dubbing animated films into English.
“Foosball,” Campanella added, isn’t really about soccer. “I’m not into soccer. ‘Foosball’ is as much about soccer as ‘Casablanca’ is about war. But soccer underscores other life passions, here, Amadeo’s need to grow up, to face challenges, or be wiped out.”
