Bill Murray returns!!

Funnyman Bill Murray to play fat cat “Garfield” in new movie
LOS ANGELES (AFP) – US comedian Bill Murray will incarnate the dry-witted and prickly comic book cat “Garfield” in a new live-action Hollywood movie, the entertainment press said.
Murray, 52, will give the fat cat feline his voice in the upcoming feature film that — like last year’s “Scooby-Doo” movie — will use a combination of live actors and a computer-generated cat, Daily Variety said.
Production on the 20th Century Fox movie coincides with next month’s 25th anniversary of the comic strip written by Jim Davis.
The film, to be directed by Peter Hewitt, will recount the adventures of the smart-alec feline who suffers living with a geeky owner and dim-witted dog.
“Toy Story” authors Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow have written the screenplay of the new “Garfield” movie that hopes to cash in on the success of the cartoon that is one of the most widely syndicated strips in the world, appearing in 2,570 newspapers in 111 countries.
