Urban Dictionary defines the arch nemesis of two people who have been friends for a long time ago, that is, more or less equivalent to the power, but also the conflicting ideologies. So I am always fighting with each other. Some of the most popular fictional arch nemesis is Obi Wan and Darth Vader, Superman and Lex Luthor, and Maggie Simpson Baby unibrow, Perry, Platypus is Heinz Doofenschmirtz and of course the most recent arch nemesis struck the Silver Screen and Metromania Megamind!
Megamind is the most brilliant super-villain the world has ever known... and the least successful. Over the years, he has tried to conquer Metro City in every imaginable way. Each attempt has been a colossal failure, thanks to the caped superhero known as "Metro Man," until the day Megamind actually defeats him in the throes of one of his botched evil plans. Suddenly, the fate of Metro City is threatened when a new villain arrives and chaos runs rampant, leaving everyone to wonder: Can the world's biggest "mind" actually be the one to save the day?
Directed by Tom McGrath - the brains behind both Madagascar movies and the voice of the beloved autocratic penguin, Skipper. He admits he would choose the villain every time. "Personally, I love villains," says McGrath. "I've loved them since I was a kid: Darth Vader, Captain Hook, they were so fascinating. They have the most interesting personas, costumes, gadgets and catch-phrases. Villains are the most fun."
McGrath had almost wrapped up production of another animated film when he was approached regarding a new project brought to DreamWorks Animation by Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfield's production company, Red hour Films. The story of course was about a super villain who accidentally defeats his arch nemesis and then creates a new hero to take his place because his life is rendered meaningless without a nemesis.
The film was Megamind and McGrath was immediately drawn to the project. He explains "I heard it was about a villain who accidentally defeats his nemesis, creates a new hero to battle, and inevitably has to rise up and be the hero himself. And at the center of it was a love story. Just with that simple pitch, I said, 'Wow, that sounds really unique-to tell a story from the villain's point of view.'"
Beginning as a script penned by Alan Schoolcraft and Brent Simons, "Megamind" takes its lead from well-known and beloved superhero stories, but asks, "What happens when the story is told from the other side?" The task the team at DreamWorks Animation had before them was to create a film about a super-villain, while making the character likable, relatable and most importantly, fun.
And they have definitely succeeded in doing so. You can see for yourself when Megamind releases on the 24th of December 2010. The added bonus is that the movie is in 3D so it will be a visual extravaganza along with telling a great story with clever comedy.
