LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Elizabeth Perkins is trading in her role as a conniving mom in "Weeds" for a big-screen turn as another mother figure in "I Hop," a live-action/CG-animated comedy.
Perkins is ending her five-year run on the Showtime series, for which she has earned three Emmy nominations for supporting actress in a comedy series as well as two Golden Globe nominations.
Tim Hill, who directed the live-action/animation hybrid "Alvin and the Chipmunks," is at the helm of "I Hop," a tale of an out-of-work slacker (James Marsden) who accidentally injures the son of the Easter Bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) and must take him in as he recovers.
Perkins will play Marsden's exasperated mother in the Illumination Entertainment/Universal production.
"I Hop" will be her first movie since 2005's "Must Love Dogs." Perkins also is developing a comedy series as a starring vehicle for herself.
