Sony's Garfield Animated Movie With Chris Pratt

Quote:

Chris Pratt is going to voice the lasagna-loving, Monday-hating comic strip cat Garfield in a new animated movie.

Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson’s Alcon Entertainment is behind the new Garfield, which has been picked up for worldwide (excluding China) release by Sony Pictures. The script written by Oscar nominee David Reynolds (Finding Nemo) is being directed by Mark Dindal (Chicken Little), with the duo having previously worked together on The Emperor’s New Groove.

Created by Jim Davis, Garfield debuted as a comic character first in 1978, with the lazy tabby cat often appearing alongside Jon Arbuckle, his human owner, and the lovable household dog Odie. Originally appearing in 41 newspapers, Garfield currently holds the record for being the most widely syndicated comic strip in the world.

Garfield previously appeared on the big screen in live-action/animated hybrid Garfield in 2004 and its sequel, 2006’s Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. In these movies, both produced by 20th Century Fox, Bill Murray voiced the titular cat.

Pratt’s voice work includes the Lego Movie films and Pixar’s Onward, as well as the upcoming Super Mario Bros. animated movie from Universal and Nintendo, where he will be playing Mario. The actor, repped by UTA, Rise Management and Sloane Offer, was most recently seen in Amazon’s sci-fi feature The Tomorrow War and is due back in theaters with Jurassic World: Dominion.

I like that textured 3D pic. I assume it’s for this movie.

I saw both live action movies but didn’t really like them at the time. I should rewatch them.

There was gonna be a Nick cartoon but must not be happening anymore. It was a long time ago.

wow, viacom finally decided to do something with Garfield, they bought him like 3 years ago. Chris Pratt is now Mario and Garfield, both fans of italian food. The last 3 CG animated movies were direct to DVDs but they were awful, hope this can wash off that bad taste. Let's hope it's not a generic CG kids movie plot. Apparently the film has been in the works since 2016 but the viacom sale postponed it for a while.

Did Viacom come to some sort of agreement with Sony on this one? Cause they don't seem to have much involvement from what I've read.

You know who would do a perfect Garfield voice? Judge Reinhold.

I would have gone with Willem Dafoe
