Mr. T and Bill Hader Join 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'

Earlier today
Cinematical managed to grab the adorable and hysterical
Anna Faris for a nice, quiet comfy-couch chat about what it's like appearing on the cover of
Playboy Magazine, her new movie
The House Bunny and a ton of other randomness (look for our interview later this week). While speaking with Anna about her upcoming projects, she did tell us a little bit more about the voice work she's doing for
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, based on the popular book by Judi and Rob Barrett. The film follows "a scientist who tries to solve world hunger only to see things go awry as food falls from the sky in abundance."
For Faris this is her first animated movie, and she'll be playing a weather girl who's kind of a tweaked version of her (they've filmed her movements and all that jazz). While speaking to her about it, Faris also revealed that aside from co-star Andy Samberg,
Bill Hader and
Mr. T will have roles in the flick. No word on who or what they'll be playing, though this marks Mr. T's first feature role since
Not Another Teen Movie back in 2001. Ahem, I smell comeback ...
Faris said she's still doing a little work on the film, though most of her stuff is done.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is due in theaters on January 15, 2010. Stay tuned for our interview with my favorite bunny later this week ...
