2012’s ‘Battleship’ may not have wowed as many movie-goers as she would have liked, but that did little to deter Pop star Rihanna from making a return to the big screen this year, doing so in the animated flick ‘Home.’

Due for release on March 27th 2015, the movie follows the story of Tip (Rihanna) who travels across a post apocalyptic America with a friendly alien named Oh, who learns what it means to be a human being when after fleeing his planet to escape his mortal enemy and seeking refuge on Earth.

As if that wasn’t enough to secure your support, the project will come armed with a concept album recorded by Rihanna, with cuts penned and recorded to tell the movie’s story in ways only she can.
