It Came From Outer Space: The Iron Giant's Footprint to Be Presented in Front of Mann's Chinese Theater

WHO: Celebrities lending their voices to the upcoming Warner Bros.
     animated adventure, "The Iron Giant" (including Vin Diesel, Eli
     Marienthal and others), plus the film's director, noted animation
     auteur Brad Bird, and producer Allison Abbate. Joining the cast
     and filmmakers will be celebrities including Danny DeVito and
     Rhea Perlman; Wallace Langham ("Veronica's Closet"); brothers
     Andy, Joey and Matt Lawrence; Jonathan Penner ("Rude Awakening");
     and Antonio Sabato Jr.

     "The Iron Giant," the latest animated feature from Warner Bros.
     Animation, follows the adventures and friendships that develop
     when a 9-year-old boy named Hogarth rescues a 50-foot metal giant
     outside of the small town of Rockwell, Maine in 1957.

WHAT: Joining the ranks of such Hollywood legends as Clint Eastwood
      and Mel Gibson, the Iron Giant will be immortalized with a
      supersized footprint (12' by 6') that will be presented by the
      filmmakers and stars in the forecourt of the historic theater.
      (Because of prior commitments, the Giant will be unable to
      attend.) Johny Grant, the honorary mayor of Hollywood, will
      emcee the event. Cast and crew will attend a special screening
      of the film following the presentation of the footprint.

WHEN: Saturday, July 31
      10:30 a.m. ceremony

WHERE: Mann's Chinese Theater
       6925 Hollywood Blvd.
