Director Tom Dey compares his Marmaduke film to a coming of age comedy movie:
“We’ve approached the movie like a John Hughes movie with dogs. The dog park is like high school for dogs. To make this kind of movie, you really have to understand that it is the dog’s world and we just live in it.
[…]
Marmaduke is a teenager, and he’s trying to find his way in the world. It’s a boy-meets-girl story, a coming-of-age and cautionary tale.”
Director Tom Dey
This Marmaduke movie could well be funny: that dog and his ears make me smile already. And knowing that Actor Owen Wilson is lending his voice to Marmaduke, I’m quite sure it’s going to be hilarious!
Besides Owen Wilson the film is also starring Emma Stone, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Ron Perlman, Judy Greer, Anjelah Johnson, Lee Pace and Steve Coogan.
By the way, a movie trailer of Marmaduke is likely to be shown in front of Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.
