Twentieth Century Fox will release sequel "Alvin and the Chipmunks II" on March 19, 2010. A followup had been expected, given the breakaway success of the first pic, which grossed $217.3 domestically and $141.1 million overseas for a worldwide haul of $358.4 million. But the film, which will be a co-production between Fox 2000 and New Regency, has no script yet. Furthermore, executives haven't settled on a concept for the sequel. The first film left off with the three singing chipmunks reuniting with their manager Dave Seville (Jason Lee).

At this time, Lee is not attached to reprise his role.

Buzz was surrounding the sequal for some time, ever since the film did unexpectedly well.I must admit... after actually seeing the film, it wasn't bad at all (though it wasn't great. I give it a C+). A little Miscast, but not too bad.

Rumor has it, the film's sequal will feature the Chipettes. That has got to be... well... interresting.

(Though, somehow, I wish that between this film and the next, an odd nuclear accident causes the Chipmunks to grow to human child size)
