Based on Judi and Ron Barrett’s popular children’s book, the flick follows an inventor whose latest experiment converts water to food. As a result, food starts falling from the sky just like rain, dropping his small town into chaos.

Bill Hader, Anna Faris to taste ‘Meatballs’

Bill Hader and Anna Faris are set to voice the leads in Sony Pictures Animations’s upcoming 3D project “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” according to Variety.

Mr. T, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Tracy Morgan and Bruce Campbell are already on board. Not bad for a voice cast.

The film, which is based on Judi Barrett’s popular children’s book, focuses on a group of characters living in a town where food falls from the sky just like rain. Imagine how cool this would look like in live-action flick.

The trade says Hader will play a character trying to invent something that could improve everybody’s life. Faris voices a weathergirl covering the strange happening.

Chris Miller and Phil Lord are directing their own script. If all goes well, the film is expected to hit theaters early 2010.

Bill Hader recently completed Greg Mottola’s “Adventureland.” Faris is currently onscreen in “The House Bunny.”
