Anne Hathaway and Neil Patrick Harris are likely to take on roles as voices in the new animated film Rio. Rodrigo Santoro is also in talks.

Anne Hathaway, Neil Patrick Harris and Rodrigo Santoro are negotiating to lend their voices to “Rio,” the next collaboration between Blue Sky Studios, Fox Animation and director Carlos Saldanha, all of whom are riding the $882 million global tsunami of “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.”

“Rio,” which follows the adventures of a nerdy macaw who lights out from his small-town Minnesota cage for the exotic Summer Olympic city of Rio de Janeiro, is scheduled for an April 8, 2011, release. Like “Dinosaurs,” it will be filmed in 3D digital animation.

Great actors, I’m sure they will suit the movie just right. It seems that by 2011 most major releases including live action and animation will be presented in 3D. I’m just waiting for them to come out with technology that gets rid of those pesky glasses.
