It Doesn't Take a MASTER MIND to Put Tina Fey, Ben Stiller, and Robert Downey Jr. in the Same Movie

Dreamworks Animation doesn't waste any time in planning to dominate the Thanksgiving weekend, even the one that won't happen till 2010. They're going to do it with fun little concept for a movie called "Master Mind" which is about a super villain who loses his life's purpose when he accidentally kills his superhero nemesis. Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, and Tina Fey are all in negotiations to provide voice work for the film.
I'm never sure how excited I should get for voice work. Yes, I'm a fan of these three (although certainly Downey and Fey more than Stiller; Downey and Fey didn't subject me to "The Heartbreak Kid") but they're not actually in the movie. Sometimes I want the professional voice actor like Tara Strong or Rob Paulsen. But I guess you can't really slap their name up on the marquee. Still, I'm sure Downey, Stiller, and Fey will all turn in great work. I just hope DreamWorks doesn't feel the urge to make it Digital 3D (oh, who am I kidding—Jeffrey Katzenberg climaxes a little every time he hears the phrase, "Digital 3D").
