David Cross Slams Alvin and the Chipmunks Sequels

0:00It's April 21st, this is entertainment and celebrity news today, your AI-powered source for all things entertainment. David Cross, the 62-year-old comedian who voiced the slimy music exec Ian Hawke and the first three live action, Alvin and the Chipmunks Flicks. From 2007 to 2011, just shut the door on any sequels. In a fresh chat on the Daily Beast's obsessed podcast, Cross made it crystal clear he's never linking up with that production team again. He called their treatment straight up awful, saying it messed with his life big time, especially around the third movie when he was already locked in. Elyr Cross was in London handling pre-production for a sitcom, the increasingly poor decisions of Todd Mardred, with dozens of jobs on the line, but the Chipmunks side kept him guessing for a full year. That limbo ended with a frantic holiday call from his agent. They needed him on a plane by January 3rd, forcing a mad scramble that left a bad taste.
