The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Hugh Jackman, Hugo Weaving and Ryan Kwanten (True Blood) have joined the voice cast of Zack Snyder’s animated children’s film Guardians of Ga’Hoole.

The animated film is an adaptation of the 14 book bestselling kids series by author Kathryn Lasky and illustrator Richard Cowdry (the film is based on the first three books in the series). The producers have described the tone as more “Harry Potter” “than Happy Feet.” The story follows a young barn owl named Soren, who is kidnapped by owls of St. Aggie’s,where owlets are brainwashed into becoming soldiers. He and his new friends escape to the island of Ga’Hoole, to assist its noble, wise owls who fight the army being created by the wicked rulers of St. Aggie’s.

Guardians of Ga’Hoole is scheduled to hit theaters on July 30th 2010.
