Owen's roadside assistance

Seems that MARLEY & ME did good things for Owen Wilson, so he'll be sticking in the Dog Movies realm for a little bit. The actor is the final piece of the MARMADUKE casting where he'll voice the titular Great Dane. Gotta pay the rent, I guess.

Wilson will be joining the likes of Ron Perlman, Emma Stone, Steve Coogan and Damon & Marlon Wayans among others as the animal-side of the film while Judy Greer and William H. Macy play poop-scooping humans. Unless talking dogs are also potty trained. Something to think about next time you get drunk.

The film directed by FAILURE TO LAUNCH helmer Tom Dey and based on the long-running comic strip goes into theaters in June 2010. No pressure there -Same month as TOY STORY 3, JONAH HEX and THE A-TEAM. Oh, and that 3rd Twilight film, whatever it's called.

Extra Tidbit: If Heathcliff makes an appearance in that thing, MAYBE I'll be a bit interested...

Um....

Pretty sure this is way old news - Jeremy Piven Tweeted about it a while ago. (He's doing a voice for the film, too.)

"Ron Perlman, Emma Stone, Steve Coogan"

I never thought I would ever see those names together, especially in an adaptation of MARMADUKE. I'm actually kind of interested now. Oh, and Judy Greer is a plus too.

I realize this may not be considered high art, but I feel movies like this don't deserve much berating seeing as they are perfectly harmless (GARFIELD being a prime example). As long as it makes me laugh or even smile then these folks have done their jobs.
