The movie, which will be directed by Raja Gosnell, will be partly live-action as well as animation. Perry, who is engaged to British comic Russell Brand, will reportedly be joined by X-Men actor Alan Cumming and How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris in the flick, which is due to be released in 2011.


More Katy buzz...Perry has denied that she is a manufactured pop star and that she isn't in control of what she does.

Perry, 25, is engaged to British comic Russell Brand, 34, and is best known for hits such as I Kissed A Girl and Hot and Cold. She told Nylon magazine: "The biggest conception [of me] is that it's someone else's idea, or that I'm just a vessel. Some people don't think I'm the captain of my ship."


Perry revealed she has been listening to older music for inspiration for her second album.

She said: "I've been on a '90s kick for a little bit. I've been listening to Hole, who are coming back... The Cardigans, Ace of Base. "The new music is still fun, but it's a bit darker. It's not as annoying. If you do something over and over again, it's like Chinese water torture."
