"I was flattered to have gotten the offer to play Dave Seville in the film and video game. It's Alvin and the Chipmunks, it's a classic ... and it's a role that I have never played," said Jason Lee. "I was able to go from Earl to not having to wear the mustache, to looking much different and just being in something that my kid is going to love, a game I can enjoy playing with him."
The game will be available for the PLAYSTATION(R)2 computer entertainment system, the Wii(TM) and Nintendo DS(TM) videogame systems from Nintendo, and PC. This game is scheduled to ship December 4, 2007 and is rated 'E' for Everyone by the ESRB.
