Know what I said when I heard they were making a movie out of Marley & Me? “Hey, how about they get Rocky Dennis and whatshername in all that makeup from Monster to play the leads?” Bada-bing! Unfortunately, Rocky Dennis is dead so they decided to get Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston to play Mr. and Mrs. John Grogan instead.
David Frankel, who last directed “The Devil Wears Prada” for the studio, will helm; Scott Frank is working on the latest draft of the script. Plan is to begin production next year. Gil Netter and Karen Rosenfelt are producing.
According to IMDb, Frank wrote Little Man Tate and had a part in writing Minority Report and The Interpreter. The film’s going to commence shooting early next year, and will hopefully include the scene where John Grogan and his family go to Disney World while leaving their old dog in a kennel.
John Grogan will also be getting indentations put along each side of his nose to match the freakish nose of Owen Wilson.
