One more film’s been added to the 2022 release slate. This one featuring a hard-on-his-luck hound named Hank (Michael Cera) who finds himself in a town full of cats who need a hero – to defend them from a ruthless villain’s (Ricky Gervais) evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant teacher (Samuel L. Jackson) to train him, our underdog must assume the role of town samurai and team up with the villagers to save the day. The only problem… cats hate dogs! Also starring Mel Brooks, George Takei, Aasif Mandvi, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Hounsou, Michelle Yeoh, Kylie Kuioka, and Cathy Shim, Paws of Fury: The Legend Of Hank pounces into theatres July 15th, 2022.
