DreamWorks Animation has revealed the first trailer to Megamind [MEGAM] featuring Will Ferrell [WFERR] as the voice of a super villain. The film was first called Mastermind, which was then changed probably due to copyright issues with the existing game. The title became Oobermind, but that was quickly dropped probably because market research determined American audiences had no idea what 'oober' means. However, everyone knows about mega from Mega Millions!
