He may have just been excommunicated from the Church of Scotland for publicly announcing his atheism (that’ll do it), but don’t cry for Alan Cumming. He’s got work lined up for a very long time. Romeo’s two favorite concepts on the Cumming docket? Two animated features, of course. Sir Billi, due to open later this year, will feature the funny Scot as “Gordon the Goat,” whose insistence that he’s actually a dog causes trouble for those around him. Sean Connery lends his voice to that one, as well.

And for his biggest film of 2011, Cumming will voice “Gutsy Smurf” in The Smurfs. Romeo already reported on the participation of Neil Patrick Harris in the film, but since then the cast list has grown exponentially: Glee’s Jayma Mays, Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara, Anton Yelchin, Hank Azaria, Katy Perry, George Lopez, Fred Armisen and comedy legend Jonathan Winters. So what started as a strange joke just gets smurfier and smurfier. Translation: We sort of want to see it now.
