opposite Bill Murray in the

Thursday 12th June 2003: Garfield Update:
Further to rumours that
Odie was going to be a CG character, it now turns out he will be a real dog as
per our earlier stories. Bill Murray has apparently already completed his vocal
duties to allow the animators time to get to work animating Garfield.
Monday 9th June 2003: Garfield Update:
It has been revealed today that
Garfield creator Jim Davis will cameo in Garfield as a drunken conventioner.
Monday 2nd June 2003: Garfield Update:
Garfield
producer John Davis has been talking about the look of the CGI
feline for
the forthcoming movie. He says that the title character, to be
voiced by
Bill Murray, will look as though he is a real, live animal. "The
goal
there is to make you believe that we found a cat that did all those
things,
even though it was all created in a computer," he said in a recent
interview.
"A tremendous amount of research and development has gone into
making
that cat look absolutely real." But Garfield will still have the
features
of traditionally animated and comic-strip characters as well. "He
has
features like his ears and his eyes, and he's kind of a fat cat. He's
bigger
than any cat you've seen. You've got those big paws. You'll look at
him and
go, 'He's Garfield. That's Garfield.'"

Wednesday 28th May 2003: Garfield Update:
Bill
Murray will voice the role of Garfield the Cat in the upcoming Garfield
film.
The movie, based on the comic strip, features a sardonic cat who must
tolerate
the indignity of being saddled with a nebbish owner (Breckin Meyer)
and a
nitwit dog as housemates.
Monday 26th May 2003: Garfield Update:
Principal Photography on Garfield
finished on the 7th May it has been revealed. Work is now underway on creating
the CG Garfield that is still to have a voice cast for. The movie is now being
planned for June 2004.
Monday 27th April 2003: Garfield Update:
Rumours are circulating that
Chevy Chase has been signed up to take the role of Dr. Davis in Garfield.
Monday 21st April 2003: Garfield Update:
In
a surprise move 20th Century Fox has pushed the flick back to June 4th, 2004 due
in part to post production work dragging on in the CGI heavy cartoon live action
adaptation. I will also note that casting issues might have been part of the problem
with the staring roles of Jon Arbuckle going to Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love
Hewitt as his girlfriend not being finalized until very late Feb 2003 and shooting
starting March 8th 2003 in Los Angeles.
