“What’s in a name?” That’s a great question for the person responsible for choosing the title of Touchstone Pictures GNOMEO & JULIET. 
The animated film stars James McAvoy (Atonement, The Last King of Scotland) and Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, The Young Victoria) as the voices of the characters Gnomeo and Juliet. It also stars Maggie Smith, Jason Statham, and Michael Caine. Here is the synopsis:
The greatest love story ever told, starring…garden gnomes? In GNOMEO & JULIET, Shakespeare’s revered tale gets a comical, off-the-wall makeover. Directed by Kelly Asbury (co-director of “Shrek 2″) and showcasing both classic and original songs by Elton John, the film features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as Gnomeo and Juliet, who have as many obstacles to overcome as their quasi namesakes when they are caught up in a feud between neighbors. But with plastic pink flamingos and thrilling lawnmower races in the mix, can this young couple find a happy ending?
GNOMEO & JULIET hits theaters everywhere in 3D on February 11, 2011. Enjoy the official trailer below!
