In more animated news, Sony Picture Worldwide has picked up US distribution rights to the $50 million CG-animated film Planet 51.

The film follows an Earth astronaut (Dwayne Johnson) who lands on Planet 51, thinking that he’s the first human to set foot on the planet. He discovers, much to his surprise, "little green people" living in a white picket-fence community reminiscent of 1950s America.

Jessica Biel, Gary Oldman, Justin Long and Sean William Scott also co-star. It is set for release on November 20, 2009.
