ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS, a global
phenomenon to generations of fans, becomes a live action/CGI
motion picture event with a contemporary comic sensibility.
Songwriter Dave Seville transforms singing chipmunks Alvin,
Simon and Theodore into pop sensations -- while the
out-of-control trio lays waste to Dave's home, wreaks havoc
on his career, and turns Dave's once-orderly life
upside-down.
The film stars Jason Lee ("My Name is Earl") as Dave
Seville, David Cross ("Arrested Development"), rising star
Cameron Richardson, and as the voices of Alvin, Simon and
Theodore, Justin Long ("Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,"
"Live Free or Die Hard"), Matthew Gray Gubler ("Criminal
Minds," "R.V.") and actor-pop sensation Jesse McCartney.
"Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties" helmer Tim Hill directs
from a screenplay by "The Simpsons" veteran Jon Vitti and
Will McRobb & Chris Viscardi ("The Tale of Despereaux"). The
producers are Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., son of Alvin and the
Chipmunks creator Ross Bagdasarian, and Janice Karman.
Alvin and the Chipmunks have been wreaking havoc for Dave
Seville - and delighting audiences around the world - for
nearly 50 years, in various incarnations. From the moment
they sprung into being, the creative brainchild of
singer/songwriter Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., the 'Munks' catchy
sound has been a pop culture mainstay, for both young and
old.
