MUMBAI: DreamWorks Animation’s Monsters vs. Aliens has been slated for a release on 15 May, 2009, one week earlier than its previously announced date, with both the official title and the 2009 release date now confirmed for the project.

Monsters vs. Aliens, which reinvents the classic ’50s monster movie into an irreverent modern day action comedy, will be the first DreamWorks Animation film produced in stereoscopic 3D technology.

The film is being directed by Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2) and Rob Letterman (Shark Tale), and produced by Lisa Stewart (I Think I Love My Wife).
