Chris Pratt is set to reprise his role as the Monday-hating, lasagna-loving cat Garfield in an animated sequel to last year’s "The Garfield Movie".
The 2024 animated movie, which was released by Sony Pictures globally (save for China), grossed over $230 million at the global box office.
Alcon co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson will produce the sequel, along with John Cohen, Steven P. Wegner and Pratt.
Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios will co-produce alongside Alcon Entertainment.
DNEG Animation, which worked on the first film, is back onboard as animation partner.
Ahead of the first film, Alcon acquired the rights from the creator of the Garfield, Jim Davis, who will serve as an executive producer on the sequel. Bridget McMeel from Amuse will also exec produce.
Producers are searching for a writer and director.
Pratt’s upcoming projects include Amazon MGM feature "Mercy" and "Way Of The Warrior Kid" from Apple and Skydance.
