Sony’s Columbia Pictures animated project ‘Garfield’ starring Hollywood star Chris Pratt is all set to hit the theatres on February 16, 2024. Pratt will voice the lasagna-loving cat. The ‘Jurassic World’ star has been cast along with&nbsp;actor Samuel Jackson in the lead role as a new character in the Garfield universe, Vic. He plays the father of the orange feline. Specifics about the new plot are still unknown.

The film comes from Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson’s Alcon Entertainment, with Sony distributing it worldwide, excluding China. ‘Garfield’ is penned by David Reynolds of ‘Finding Nemo’ and is helmed by the 'Chicken Little' maker, Mark Dindal.

Although no other cast members have been announced, the film will presumably feature classic characters from the franchise, including his owner, Jon Arbuckle, and dim-witted puppy, Odie. In 1978, Jim Davis invented the orange cat Garfield for a comic strip, in which he causes trouble for human owner Jon Arbuckle and Odie, Jon's dog. The character developed into a cultural icon and the comic strip now holds the record for being the most widely syndicated in the world, The Hollywood Reporter noted.

Previously, ‘Garfield: The Movie’ in 2004 and ‘Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties’ became box office successes despite getting negative reviews from the audience, in which Bill Murray gave his voice to the fat cat. Both were released under the 20th Century Fox banner.

Pratt had a super-busy schedule this summer with ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ and ‘Thor: Love and Thunder.' Pratt will also appear next year in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Star-Lord in the third ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movie. Along with this, he will play another iconic animated character next year when he takes on the voice of Mario in the upcoming ‘Super Mario Bros’ film from Illumination.

Jackson, on the other hand, recently voiced another cartoon cat in the animated ‘Blazing Saddles’. He will also make his next live-action appearance next year, reprising his Marvel Cinematic Universe role of Nick Fury in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ ‘Secret Invasion’ and ‘The Marvels,’ Variety reported.

Chris Pratt-led animated ‘Garfiled’ secures a 2024 winter date 

Hollywood actress Maggie Q may have been recovering from a spine surgery while filming her action-thriller ‘The Protégé’—alongside Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson and others—but that did not stop her from doing her own stunts.

 
“I wish I trained. I had spine surgery, like major spine surgery two and a half months before I had to be on set,” the actress reportedly told a leading entertainment website.&nbsp;

 
Maggie went on to add that her doctor had told her she couldn't work for at least five months, but she'd already signed on to the movie and told him she would have to defy his orders. “He goes, 'But I don't want you to,' and I go, 'But I'm going to.' He was sweating and upset, and so, we had that little exchange and he knew that was it, he couldn't convince me.”

 
The actress went to the set of ‘The Protégé’ assuming everyone knew about her recent medical rhistory, but that was not the case. “I went from like bed rest into rehearsals and I assumed everyone was aware of what had just happened to me. I said to the coordinator, 'So I just had this surgery and it was really, really hard on my body, so all that neck stuff, we're going to have to change it,'" she details. "And he goes, 'What surgery?' And I was like, 'No one told you that I had spine surgery?' And I've never seen a grown man want to cry in that way so immediately.”

 
However, Maggie managed to pull off almost all of her stunts—98 per cent of them, she reportedly said. “There are a couple of things I didn't do for safety reasons but they weren't big things. Sometimes there are things you don't not do because you can't do them but because you shouldn't do them... We have to pick and choose our battles for insurance reasons and just to be safe and healthy,” said Maggie Q.

 
“You don't want to do things that are stupid. When I was in my 20s and started in Hollywood, I was stupid. Super stupid. I would want to do things that were absolutely ridiculous risk-wise. J.J. Abrams was like holding me down, like, 'Absolutely no way are you doing this stunt,' and then my double did it, and she's one of the best in the business and she broke her ankle. So you got to have boundaries,” concluded the actor.
