Opening this Friday is "Space Chimps" and it'sthe new CGI animated movie from Vanguard Animation and 20th Century Fox. Here’s the synopsis:

When a $5 billion Space Agency probe disappears into an intergalactic wormhole, the agency recruits Ham III, grandson of the first chimpanzee in space, to help retrieve the wayward craft. But Ham is a free-spirited circus performer more interested in zero gravity high jinks than living up to his illustrious heritage. The simian slacker becomes a reluctant hero and learns the true meaning of courage as he and his crewmates, the plucky Lieutenant Luna and their by-the-book commander, Titan, risk everything in an effort to save the peaceful inhabitants of a distant planet from an evil dictator. The movie features the voices of Andy Samberg, Cheryl Hines, Patrick Warburton, Kristin Chenoweth, Stanley Tucci and Kenan Thompson.

Anyway, I recently got to interview Cheryl Hines and it’s below. During my time I asked her how she got the gig, what’s up with “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and she also talked about her directorial debut called “Serious Moonlight,” which was written by the late Adrienne Shelly.

Finally, if you want to watch some movie clips from “Space Chimps,” click here. Again, “Space Chimps” opens this Friday.

Cheryl Hines

  • The interview begins with me asking Cheryl how she’s been…

  • How did she first get involved in Space Chimps

  • We trash talk Andy…it’s all a joke, don’t worry

  • With her being attacked to so many projects, I ask about what she has coming up.

  • She talks about Curb Your Enthusiasm – thinks another season is coming. Doesn’t know when.

  • She talks about Serious Moonlight – the project she’s directing that was written by Adrienne Shelly.
