Seth Rogen Takes Lead Voice Role In 'Boo U.'

The perpetually busy Seth Rogen just lined up his next gig. He'll voice the lead character in DreamWorks Animation's "Boo U.," The Hollywood Reporter reveals. The character isn't named, but he'll play a ghost who is sent back to school because he's no good at scaring little kids. Sounds like "Monsters Inc." with a "Back to School" twist.

Rogen is no stranger to animated features. He voiced Mantis in "Kung Fu Panda" -- another DreamWorks joint -- a role to which he'll be returning for next summer's "Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom." More recently, Rogen voiced the blob creature B.O.B. in "Monsters & Aliens." "Lilo & Stitch 2" and "Igor" director Tony Leondis will helm the flick, which will hit screens in 3-D. No release date is listed.
