Alvin and the Chipmunks, the successful rodent pop group, are suing 20th Century Fox for dolling out insufficient profits from their recent hit films.
Hang on. That’s not right. It seems that Janice Karman, daughter-in-law of Chipmunks creator Ross Bagdasarian, has taken an action arguing that she was not paid for work on the screenplay for
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.
Big deal? Well, yes, actually. The second film in the developing franchise took a mighty $442 million worldwide.
To put that in proper perspective, The Squeakquelmade more than Star Trekor Terminator Salvation.Nuts!
