Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jessica Biel have reportedly signed up to provide voices for new animated movie Planet 51.

Justin Long and Seann William Scott will also appear in the film, the first 3-D CG-animated feature from New Line Cinema.

Jorge Blanco , co-creator of the Commandos video games, is in line to direct alongside Javier Abad and Marcos Martinez, reports Variety.
