Alvin and the Chipmunks is an upcoming live-action/computer-animated film, based on the popular musical group Alvin and the Chipmunks (and, in several ways, the animated series of the same name). It is being directed by Tim Hill and being produced by Bagdasarian Productions, New Regency Productions, and 20th Century Fox. It is currently scheduled for theatrical release on December 14, 2007.

The story begins when struggling songwriter, Dave Seville (Jason Lee) gets his world turned upside-down when a trio of talking and singing chipmunks formed by Alvin (voiced by Justin Long), Simon (voiced by Matthew Gray Gubler), and Theodore (voiced by Jesse McCartney), and soon become instant stars.

Cast: Jason Lee as David “Dave” Seville Justin Long as Alvin Seville (voice) Matthew Gray Gubler as Simon Seville (voice) Jesse McCartney as Theodore Seville (voice) David Cross as Ian Hawke, the music producer Cameron Richardson as Claire Hanson, Dave’s crush Jane Lynch as Gail Celestina as Witch Doctor Back-Up Singer Kevin Symons as Ted.

Another version of Witch Doctor was made for the film. Jason Lee is the third man to portray David Seville, succeeding Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and Ross Bagdasarian Sr. Bagdasarian, Jr. was about to portray David Seville, though a much younger actor is needed (he is 58, and Jason Lee is 37).

The address at Dave’s apartment is 1958, which is the year that the classic hits “The Chipmunk Song” and “Witch Doctor” was released. In the teaser trailer, Dave says Alvin’s name three times. But yells it when he says it the third time. This is a reference to The Chipmunk Song Christmas (Don’t Be Late). In one TV spot, Theodore states that he likes coffee. This is the third movie to have Jason Lee shaved. The soundtrack is due out November 20, 2007, three weeks before the film’s opening and will contain new versions of most Chipmunk songs.
