Bill Nighy and Will Arnett will also tackle the roles of the human actors for film which will be shot as a live-action/CG movie and will be the directorial debut of Oscar-winning visual effects master Hoyt Yeatman.
Other live-action leads in the film include Zach Galifianakis, Kelli Garner, Gabriel Casseus and Jack Conley. The film has started production in Los Angeles with Jerry Bruckheimer producing. Bruckheimer Films' Mike Stenson and Chad Oman, and Duncan Henderson are set to handle executive producing chores, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
G-Force follows a team of ultra-intelligent animal commandoes working for a government agency trying to prevent an evil billionaire from taking over the world.
For the film, Cage will provide the voice of Speckles, a mole; Buscemi will handle the voice of Bucky, a hamster; and Morgan will voice Blaster, a guinea pig. Nighy has been cast as an industrialist, and Arnett as an FBI agent.
In The Hollywood Reporter, Bruckheimer stated: It's a good story; it's unique characters, it's half animation, half live action.
He continued: It falls right into the Disney family of films -- the kind of films we make, like 'National Treasure,' which entertain everybody from the smallest kid to the oldest grandparent.
