Chris Pratt embraces the role of the beloved lasagna-loving cat, Garfield, in the eagerly anticipated “The Garfield Movie,” set to premiere in theaters on May 29, 2024.
An Indoor Cat’s Outdoor Saga
In “The Garfield Movie,” audiences will witness the indoor orange cat, famous for his disdain for Mondays and love for lasagna, embark on an unforeseen wild adventure. After reconnecting with his estranged father, Vic, voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, a rugged street cat, Garfield and his loyal canine companion, Odie (voiced by Harvey Guillén), find themselves catapulted from their comfortable lives into a daring, laughter-filled heist. The star-studded voice cast further includes Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, and Snoop Dogg.
A Modern Garfield for a Modern World
“This is a 2024 Garfield. As the world has evolved, so too has Garfield, and his perfectly pampered life has become even more easy,” says Pratt about this latest version of Garfield, one that has kept up with the times! “He’s become even lazier because he can order his lasagna with a simple click of a button. There’s nothing bad about his life except for Mondays. But in this movie, he’s going to be forced to get out of his house and go on an adventure that he is entirely unprepared for – and he’ll have to rise to the occasion… and through all of that, we’ll see how and why he got to be the way he is. This is about what makes Garfield Garfield.”
“With any challenge, Garfield’s attitude is, how hard can it be?” says director Mark Dindal (The Emperor’s New Groove, Chicken Little). “So, when he goes into the outside world, he’s never intimidated. He’s sure that everything is going to go smoothly. That was a lot of fun to play with, especially as we exaggerated the stakes to absurd, life-or-death levels.”
