"Willard" Movie

I wish that I too could have an army of mice minions to do my bidding. No, seriously, I do, well, I'd rather cat minions, but we all know that that's a joke, with them being our masters and all...

This is the first I've seen of this movie, which appears to be about a guy who "doesn't fit in" (typical) and has the ability to control a large number of mice, which he uses to, well, do his bidding. Hit the trailer I linked to (large) or if you're net-deprived go and choose a different size.

This one doesn't make me want to go see it as much as say, the Daredevil or Matrix trailers, but hey, you never know...

It might be noted that this is a remake of the 1971 film of the same name, featuring Ernest Borgnine as Willard's nasty boss.

Also, if anybody's wonder just where they've seen this familiar looking character playing Willard, it's Crispin Glover, who's most famous for playing George McFly (Marty's father) in Back to the Future 1. Little trivia note: I've just read on imdb.com that he didn't actually appear in Back to the Future 2... the producers spliced in archival footage and used an actor made up to look like Glover. Glover sued the producers of the movie and won, leading the Screen Actors Guild to institute new regulations on use of actors' images.

The song playing in the previews is Ben, from the sequel to the original Willard. One of Michael Jackson's first hit song w/o the Jackson Five.

Um, I left the movie after the boss, Mr.Martin, killed Socrates, and I want to know how it ends. I can't bear to watch it again, I cried so much. I hate it when they kill the main character's only friend. It really hits something in me and touches me deep down. I'd appreciate any response. Thank You.

Sent to me by Kim:

Hello ~~ I see many people are wracking thier brains to remember who the first Willard was.
The actor in the original role is named "Bruce Davidson".

Hey Jennifer M- In response to your question, the guy who was Willard's dad is Bruce Davidson- the same guy who played Willard in the original movie.

Actually the actor is Bruce Davison. Wondering where you say him last? Senator Kelly in X-Men and X-2.
