Owen Wilson has signed on as the voice of “Marmaduke” in 20th Century Fox’s adaptation of the long-running comic strip into a movie that will be a blend of live action and animation.
The movie follows a family named the Winslows as they move from Kansas to Orange County with their dog Marmaduke, a slobbery Great Dane who, as he does in the comic strip, creates chaos wherever he goes.
In the movie, Marmaduke gets involved in a Mutts vs. Pedigrees turf war, woos the purebred of his dreams and overcomes a fall from grace. according to Reuters.
Judy Greer, Lee Pace and William H. Macy play the humans, while Fergie, Emma Stone, George Lopez, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Steve Coogan, Damon Wayans, Marlon Wayans supply voices for the computer-generated characters.
