It looks like one of the most hated movies of the year will be getting a sequel and adding Chipettes to the mix. We get the scoop from our friends at MTV Movies Blog:
Believe it or not, “Alvin & the Chipmunks” is about to cross the $200 million box-office mark, could become the most successful family film released in 2007, and is already the highest-grossing talking animal/live-action cartoon adaptation ever. All this can only mean one thing: Chipettes.
“There has been a lot of talk about it,” revealed Janice Karman, one of the film’s producers. “A lot of people have been asking about the little girls.”
Well, this had to be expected. When a film rakes in this kind of coin you can only assume that another will follow. Although panned by critics and moviegoers alike – gobs of people went to see this film; supply and demand. If we will eat shit up – someone will be there with a spoon to feed it to us. I certainly do not want to see the sequel, but for those of you that enjoyed this film – I hope you are delighted at this announcement.
The addition of the Chipettes will at least give us more characters to hate. I did not see the Chipmunk film, I enjoyed the cartoon as a child and did not want to see a modern bastardized version. Based on the word on the street , I made the correct decision.
Jason Lee is now cursed to walk a hamster wheel of Chipmunk films till the well runs dry. I weep for him
