THE GARFIELD MOVIE Goes Full Action-Film in Its Latest Trailer

The latest look at The Garfield Movie, which stars Passengers’ Chris Pratt as the cat with a big appetite for both food and sleeping, is anything but a lazy romp. It’s maybe the most activity Garfield has ever had in his life. Here’s The Garfield Movie‘s official synopsis from Sony Pictures to accompany the trailer:

Garfield, the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.

The movie comes from director Mark Dindal (The Emperor’s New Groove, Chicken Little ), with a script from Paul A. Kaplan & Mark Torgove and David Reynolds. It also stars Samuel L. Jackson as Garfield’s dad Vic. The rest of the cast it just as impressive. It also features Ted Lasso  alums Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein, as well as Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, Harvey Guillén, Bowen Yang, and Snoop “The Cat” Dogg.

The Garfield Movie comes to theaters this spring on May 24, 2024. That day, is fittingly, not a Monday. We know a certain orange tabby doesn’t work on Mondays. Although maybe after this action-packed movie we’ll need to stop thinking about Garfield the way we always have. Unless we’re tlaking about lasagna. Clearly that still applies.
