Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin have been voice-cast for DreamWorks animated buddy comedy 'Home'.

The film, set for a November 2014 release, will also have voices of Jim Parsons and Rihanna. It is based on the book 'The True Meaning of Smekday', the children's book by Adam Rex, reported the Wrap.

Martin will voice Captain Smek, leader of the overly optimistic alien race known as the Boov, who take over Earth and begin to relocate the human race - convinced they're doing them a big favor.

While Rihanna will voice a resourceful girl who avoids capture and unwittingly becomes the accomplice of a banished Boov (Parsons). Lopez will play the girl's mother.
 

Tim Johnson is directing the film from a screenplay by Tom J Astle and Matt Ember.
