Synopsis
Titan A.E. combines cel and CG imagery in this science fiction saga. In 3028, after the Earth is destroyed by an invading alien race, a tiny number of surviving humans roam the universe in ragtag spaceships, trying to find each other and maintain some sense of community. Shortly before the final destruction of the planet, Cale (voice of Matt Damon) was given a map that would guide him to a space station called Titan, secretly constructed as a last hope in the event of alien Armageddon. Cale sets out in search of Titan and the fabled Ice Planet with the help of his friend Korso (voice of Bill Pullman), the beautiful Akima (voice of Drew Barrymore), and a crew of friendly aliens. Titan A.E. was directed by noted animators Don Bluth and Gary Goldman and scripted by Ben Edlund, creator of the comic book series The Tick. Other members of the voice cast include Nathan Lane, Janeane Garofalo, John Leguizamo, and Tone Loc.

Officially, Fox Chairman Bill Mechanic resigned Thursday to launch his own film company. Unofficially, the word is that Fox honchos were none too happy with Mechanic's recent string of un-hits: "Fight Club," "Anna and the King" and the aforementioned "Titan A.E."
Of course, Mechanic is also bailing before Fox opens one of its seemingly can't-miss properties: "Me, Myself & Irene" with Jim Carrey.
"The studio is in excellent shape with a strong summer lineup and terrific product into next summer," Mechanic said in a statement, "and so I feel now is the time to pursue other personal ambitions."
No time like the present -- and before another potentially troublesome
