Minions Trailer and Poster

The Despicable Me minions take the spotlight in the 2015 spinoff, Minions, which has just debuted an official trailer. Directed by Pierre Coffin, the voice cast includes Sandra Bullock, Michael Keaton, Jon Hamm, Steve Coogan, and Allison Janney.

Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment will be releasing Minions in theaters on July 10, 2015.

The Plot:

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. After accidentally killing off so many of them—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without a master to serve and fall into a deep depression.

But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.

The trio embarks upon an adventure that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Bullock), the world’s first-ever female supervillain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation.
