It is the origin story of how the world’s greatest supervillain first met his iconic Minions, forged cinema’s most despicable crew, and faced off against the most unstoppable criminal force ever assembled.  </p><div><br/></div><p><em>Minions: The Rise of Gru</em> traces pre-villain Gru long before he became the master of evil. We first see <strong>Gru</strong> (Oscar® nominee <strong>Steve Carell</strong>) as a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement which is not going particularly well. When Gru crosses paths with the Minions, including <strong>Kevin</strong>, <strong>Stuart</strong>, <strong>Bob</strong>, and <strong>Otto</strong>—a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please—this unexpected family joins forces. Together, they build their first lair, design their first weapons, and strive to execute their first missions. </p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2mtezt89AHE" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/89fe0454-bf3c-40ff-bf6c-b3994111118b_minions the rise of gru.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/290730fc-31fe-4ad9-a1ff-382d24f4001e_minions the rise of gru_ .jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>At a young age, Gru has always wanted to join the supervillain supergroup called the Vicious 6.  When its legendary martial arts fighter <strong>Wild Knuckles</strong> (Oscar® winner <strong>Alan Arkin</strong>)— Gru, their most devoted fanboy, finds a way to the interview to become their newest member. The Vicious 6 is not impressed by the diminutive, wannabe villain, but then Gru outsmarts (and enrages) them, and he suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to master the art of kung fu to help save him, and Gru discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends.  </p><div><br/></div><p>Featuring more spectacular action than any film in Illumination history and packed with the franchise’s signature subversive humor, <em>Minions: The Rise of Gru</em> stars a thrilling new cast, including, the Vicious 6: <strong>Taraji P. Henson</strong> as cool and confident leader <strong>Belle Bottom</strong>, whose chain belt doubles as a lethal disco-ball mace; <strong>Jean-Claude Van Damme</strong> as the nihilistic <strong>Jean Clawed</strong>, who’s armed (literally) with a giant robotic claw; <strong>Lucy Lawless</strong> as <strong>Nunchuck</strong>, whose traditional nun’s habit hides her deadly nun-chucks; <strong>Dolph Lundgren</strong> as Swedish roller-skate champion <strong>Svengeance</strong>, who dispenses his enemies with spin kicks from his spiked skates; and <strong>Danny Trejo</strong> as <strong>Stronghold</strong>, whose giant iron hands are both a menace to others and a burden to him.  </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/694fc402-2b32-4ccb-b58c-d31e826a243d_gru lines up for interview in minions the rise of gru.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Gru lines up for interview in MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/83b5b6f5-c6a3-4fb3-8fad-828618dc74ef_minions the rise of gru _ villains.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>The film also stars <strong>Russell Brand</strong> as Young <strong>Dr. Nefario</strong>, an aspiring mad scientist; <strong>Michelle Yeoh</strong> as <strong>Master Chow</strong>, an acupuncturist with mad kung fu skills; and Oscar® winner <strong>Julie Andrews</strong> as Gru’s maddeningly self-absorbed mom. </p><div><br/></div><div><em><strong>From Illumination and Universal Pictures International, Minions: The Rise of Gru opens in local cinemas nationwide on June 29.  </strong></em></div><div><br/></div><p>Photos courtesy of <strong>Universal Pictures</strong></p><div><br/></div>
