Bringing the canine voices to live includes Emma Stone, Fergie, George Lopez, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Steve Coogan, Damon Wayans and Marlon Wayans. Owen Wilson has been the latest member of the canine family.

Directed by Tom Dey, who also helmed romantic comedy, "Failure to Launch," the film will be based on Marmaduke finding himself in the midst of a turf war between Pedigrees and Mutts, all the while trying to win the affection of the leading lady purebred.

The film is set to be released in June of 2010.



Whispers68: I loved this comic strip on Sundays so I'm looking forward to the theatrical release. I just hope the film is done correctly.

Really?

I thought they were trying to PREVENT Owen Wilson from killing himself.

This seems weird, I mean the comic strip doesn't really tell a story...it's just little one shots.

Didn't they already do a movie like this called Scooby Doo?

Good one, InstigatorGIRL - too true. I predict EPIC SUCKAGE for this project (of course it IS Owen Wilson we're talking about, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise)!
