22 Jun - George Lucas is seeing yellow, as it was announced that he is lending his voice to the upcoming Minion movie.

The news was confirmed by Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri, who stated that the studio made an offer that the "Star Wars" creator did not refuse - that is joining its latest "Despicable Me" spinoff, "Minions & Monsters".

"I had this privilege of meeting George about two years ago, and what led to my meeting him is how much he loves Illumination movies, and specifically Despicable Me, and even more specifically, the Minions," Meledandri said.

"It was such a thrill to learn that and then to share it with the team, because obviously he's among a very small group of people who the entire studio shares a level of respect for that is just off the charts."

Meledandri stated that he pitched the idea for Lucas to get involved with the director and co-writers, and that they immediately said yes.

"We're thrilled to have him in the film. I saw him recently, and he's already talking to me about the role he wants to do next in the next Minions movie. So, it's pretty incredible," he added.
The upcoming animated film will be released on 1 July
