Rihanna is headed back to the big screen.
After battling aliens in ‘Battleship’ earlier in the year, the ‘Drunk On Love’ singer has secured a role in ‘Happy Smekday‘, to be released by Dreamworks in 2014.
Based on the best selling book ‘The True Meaning Of Smekday‘, ‘Happy Smekday‘ tells the story of an alien race who invade Earth and use it as hiding place from their enemies.
However, when one alien inadvertently informs the enemy of the aliens’ whereabouts, he is forced to go on the run with a teenage girl- learning in time what it means to be human.
The official release reads:
DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA) today announced that Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Jim Parsons (Harvey on Broadway and The Big Bang Theory) and international superstar Rihanna (Battleship) will star in the leading roles in Happy Smekday!, a feature film based on the critically acclaimed book “The True Meaning of Smekday” by Adam Rex.
The studio plans to release Happy Smekday! during the fourth quarter of 2014. Tim Johnson (Over the Hedge, Antz) will serve as the film’s director. Chris Jenkins (Rio, Surf’s Up) and Suzanne Buirgy (Kung Fu Panda 2) are serving as producers and DreamWorks Animation’s Head of Development Gregg Taylor is overseeing the project. Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember (Get Smart) are currently writing the screenplay. “Adam’s hilarious book is the perfect recipe for a compelling animated feature and we are ecstatic that Jim Parsons and
Rihanna will contribute their immense talents to the production,” said Bill Damaschke, DreamWorks Animation’s Chief Creative Officer. “We’re also thrilled that Tim Johnson is back to direct another DreamWorks Animation feature film and show the world just how fun an alien invasion can be!” “When I read Adam Rex’s remarkable book, I knew it would make an amazing film. I can’t wait to introduce audiences to the unique world and characters of Happy Smekday!” added Tim Johnson.
