Dreamworks Superhero Flick Oobermind Renamed MegaMind

The upcoming superhero movie from DreamWorks Animation gets a name change.

The name change was revealed in an article at Coming Soon talking about a video game deal between DreamWorks and THQ. The move, due out in November, 2010 and starring the voices of Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, and Jonah Hill is described by the studio as follows:

When super villain MegaMind (Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man (Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, MegaMind falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is life without a point for him. So, he creates a new superhero rival, Titan (Hill). Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super villain, too. Caught in the middle, star reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Fey) asks the tough questions: Who can we turn to? Who has what it takes to stand up to this menace? Who will defend the innocent? MegaMind! That’s who.
