Eddie Izzard has replaced Jeremy Piven as the insane Schadenfreude in the Weinstein Co.'s CG-animated monster movie Igor, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

IDW will create serial comic adaptations of the film's story, plus prequels and sequels, followed by a full-color paperback collection of each miniseries.

The prequel series is tentatively set for May or June, followed by the film and sequel series, so the three collected sets can be published in book form in time for the film's October 2008 release.

Igor features the voices of John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Jennifer Coolidge, Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno, Molly Shannon, Sean Hayes and others.

Igor was released September 19th, 2008 and stars John Cusack, Myleene Klass, Robin Walsh, Matt McKenna, John Cleese, Steve Buscemi, Sean Hayes, Jess Harnell. The film is directed by Anthony Leondis.
