Murray has cat's eye on 'Garfield 2'
by Tatiana Siegel

Bill Murray is in negotiations to reprise his role as the voice of Garfield in 20th Century Fox's sequel "Garfield 2," while Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt have signed on to return, though Hewitt's role will be greatly reduced because she is filming the upcoming CBS series "Ghost Whisperer." Lucy Davis and Billy Connolly also are entering the fat cat's lair. Davis, who recently joined the cast of the indie "The TV Set," will play animal lover Abby Westminster, a fashionable professional who has been brought in to try and trap Lord Dargis (Connelly) into revealing his evil plans. She is best known for her role on the U.K. version of "The Office." "Garfield 2," which will be directed by Tim Hill, is slated for a summer 2006 release. Fox president of production Hutch Parker and vp production Vanessa Morrison will oversee for the studio.

Oh GREAT, another Garfield movie...as if I haven't already been the subject of enough derision for having the audacity to inform certain people that I thought the first one was good...now, whenever I express an opinion about ANY movie, (which, sadly enough, is fairly frequently) any of these that happen to be in earshot will invariably say something like, " well yeah, but he liked Garfield."....and this from people who are completely willing to imperiously pronounce it's worthlessness without even bothering to have seen it first....ah, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. :( Oh well, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and in the end I can always sling more caca than ANYONE because I have a guaranteed lifetime supply...LMAO, thanks for the info JL. :D

You are welcome!

I have to admit, I'm surprised Jennifer and Breckin are coming back for "Garfield 2" and even more so that Bill Murray may as well but it is very cool that they are. Thanks for the info Tom. :)

[Jennyluvver]

Don't forget we will have Love's TV show to keep us happy until the movie comes out!

[TommyLovesJLH]

JLH was the only reason to see that movie. I hope her t.v show will be good as I think.
