Marmaduke Coming to the Big Screen

March 5, 2009

The Hollywood Reporter says that 20th Century Fox has signed director Tom Dey to develop a big screen adaptation of Marmaduke.

Brad Anderson created the decades-running newspaper comic strip, about a mischievous Great Dane who lives with the Winslow family, in 1954. The big dog then appeared in several animated episodes of "Heathcliff" and "Garfield and Friends."

The trade added that the studio declined comment on any specifics for the feature because the project is in the early stages of development.

It hasn't been decided whether Marmaduke will be live-action, animated or a mutt.

First.

Seriously? Marmaduke is the worst comic strip in the paper. I enjoy reading the comics on a sunday afternoon, and I have never once laughed at this one. wow, he gets paw prints on the curtain. and he's really big so he fits awkward in the bath tub.

Bad move, FOX. Bad move indeed.

I was just thinking how they should make a movie based on that not too long ago. And the dog should definitely be a real live action one, that is more charming. Now I hope no cheesy washed up actors are cast and the script is actually more like Marley and me and less like most movies

lmfao Fox sure knows how to pick em! I'm sure there will be a line around the block of people waiting to get in to see Marmaduke the effing movie.

Why not make Calvin and Hobbes? That's the best comic strip ever and Watterson never even gave us an animated series!
