Jason Lee Joins Alvin, Simon, Theodore
After just recently voicing Underdog, Jason Lee is moving on to play Dave Seville in the live-action/CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks planned to start shooting March 28. From Variety:
Jason Lee will star as David Seville in the CG/live-action hybrid pic "Alvin and the Chipmunks" for Fox 2000 and Fox Animation.
Penned by Jon Vitti and to be directed by Tim Hill, project is based on the 1950s cartoon series about chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore, who lay waste to Seville's surroundings and sing in three-part harmony on such tunes as "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" and "The Witch Doctor."
It would seem that, with this and Underdog, Jason Lee must have an usual aptitude for acting in adaptation of the cartoons of yesteryear. In turn, it would seem the cartoons of yesteryear have the distinct talent of ruining Jason Lee's career.
Chipmunks Fact: After over forty years of requesting, Alvin no longer wants a hula hoop.
