Chris Pratt is going to voice the lasagna-loving, Monday-hating comic strip cat Garfield in a new animated movie.

Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnsons Alcon Entertainment is behind the new Garfield, which has been picked up for worldwide (excluding China) release by Sony Pictures. The script written by Oscar nominee David Reynolds (Finding Nemo) is being directed by Mark Dindal (Chicken Little), with the duo having previously worked together on The Emperors New Groove.

Mondays am I right?

I'd say there's an optimal level of Chris Pratt in the atmosphere, these days. He's great.

No because it's Chris Pratt instead of Bill Murray which is unforgivable.

There's another one that depicts Jon as completely jaded to the cosmic horror and he's like "Lasagna is in the fridge" and it turns out demon-garfield just wants Jon's Lasagna and otherwise doesn't hurt him.

He doesn't have to be involved in any kind of big disaster for one to recognize that he isn't the right actor to play these characters with iconic voices. Both Garfield and Mario have very distinct voices, and Chris Pratt just does Chris Pratt's voice in every movie he's in. Even the few animated movies he's been in.

I mean...

Chris Pratt is Hollywood's go-to everyman protagonist. He's what Bill Murray was a generation ago. And since Bill Murray voiced Garfield in the 2000s, I think it fits.

Just don't remake Groundhog Day with Chris Pratt because that would make me violently angry.

Sitting through a 90 minute movie with Mario's voice being what it is in the games would be fucking awful.

I overall agree and I don't have any issues with the rest of the voice cast but I'm just not overly convinced about Pratt as Mario.

Pratt's strength is when he plays a loveable doofus. When he doesn't play that role he tends to be a bit boring. Mario is a highly energetic go-getter. Garfield is sarcastic, lazy and bored. In a way they're polar opposites character wise so we'll see how Pratt handles both. He might be alright as Garfield.

To be fair I don't know what the movie is aiming for with Mario either and I'm interested to see what the trailer does. For all we know he's someone who ends up in Mario's body and if that's the case then yeah sure.
