“Home” is directed by Tim Johnson, who also helmed “Antz,” “Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas” and “Over the Hedge.”

The film will arrive in theaters on Nov. 26.

A release date for the album has yet to be announced, but interestingly, the singer’s last four albums have all had November release dates.

Rihanna’s last album was 2012’s “Unapologetic.”
