Garfield Pushed Back

April 19, 2003

It’s hard to imagine anyone making Garfield move, but that’s exactly what Fox has done. The live action adaptation is being moved from mid-December of this year to June 4th, 2004. No word was given on exactly why the move was made, but the complicated CG work probably had something to do with the decision. Oh yeah, that and the old release date was just two days after The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is being released.

In other news, Stephen Tobolowsky has joined the cast playing a character called Happy. He joins Breckin Meyer as Jon Arbuckle and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Dr. Liz Wilson. There is still no word on who will supply the voice of Garfield.
