The world’s most famous fat cat is coming to theaters soon. “Garfield,” an animated film starring Chris Pratt as the famous Jim Davis comic strip character, will premiere in theaters Feb. 16, 2024.
In addition to Pratt, the film will also star Samuel L. Jackson as a brand-new character to the Garfield universe, Vic, who is the father of the orange feline. The plot that will bring Garfield’s father back into his life remains under wraps. Although no other cast members have been announced, the film will presumably feature classic characters from the franchise, including his owner Jon Arbuckle and dim-witted puppy Odie.
The animated movie represents the latest big screen outing for the iconic lasagna-loving misanthrope. Bill Murray famously voiced the character in two live-action and CGI-hybrid films, 2004’s “Garfield: The Movie” and its 2006 sequel “Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties.” The two films received largely negative reviews, but were both commercially successful.

Welcome to "Arrested Development" Rewatch. Leading up to the release of Season 4, Zap2it will be taking a look back at the 53 episodes that made "Ad" one of our most beloved TV comedies. Watch the first three seasons of "Arrested Development" on Netflix. Today we're covering the Season 1 episode "Staff Infection," which premiered March 14, 2004..
"Staff Infection," the 15th episode of "Arrested Development" Season 1 focused pretty much solely on Bluth family dynamics and the shaky state of the company. The episode also serves to reinforce the notion that only Michael has any competency at all.
Plot: Michael (Jason Bateman) is irritated to learn that his entire family receives Bluth Company paychecks, despite not working. The actual sheep employees, meanwhile, are going without pay. As a result, Michael makes Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) the substitute receptionist and sets Gob (Will Arnett) and Buster (Tony Hale) to work at the construction site (although Buster first makes copies). Meanwhile,...
