Marmaduke Movie Trailer

Marmaduke

20th Century Fox has released the teaser trailer for Marmaduke, the big screen adaptation of the Brad Anderson-created comic strip.

For Phil and Debbie Winslow, moving their family from Kansas to the O.C. is a big deal. For their enormous Great Dane “Marmaduke,” (voiced by Owen Wilson) however, the move means a whole new way of life. It’s chaos at home and awkward at work as the Winslows struggle to control their angsty teenage canine.

Shanghai Noon/Failure to Launch director Tom Dey approached the film like “a John Hughes movie with dogs,” and the dog park is “like high school for dogs” filled with all the kinds of characterizations you might expect. The script “sees Marmaduke navigate a volatile Mutts vs. Pedigrees turf war, woo the purebred of his dreams and overcome a fall from grace.” The movie co-stars Emma Stone, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Ron Perlman, Judy Greer, Anjelah Johnson, Lee Pace, Steve Coogan, William H. Macy, George Lopez, Stacy Ferguson, Damon Wayans Jr., David Walliams, Amanda Seyfried and Jeremy Piven.

The trailer is a parody of the opening of The O.C., complete with theme music, concluding with the reveal that Owen Wilson is a dog. Watch the trailer now, embedded after the jump.

Watch the trailer in high definition on Yahoo. Marmaduke hits theaters on June 4th 2010.

Having Owen Wilson be in a movie about dogs (Marley and Me) and then to have him play a dog (this film) makes this movie feel odd.

First of all, the breed Great Danes are the best. and no they dont take a shit like a horse, there shit's are like any other dog. And they dont stink your house up, dont no where you heard that from because i have 2 Great Danes. The drooling shit well thats after a drink of water any dog will do that, what makes it more notice on Great Danes is there big Lips. they are lap dogs and yes they like a couch just like any other dog. These dogs ARE NOT for everybody

JPX,

I don't understand why anyone would want you either... You smell, sweat, take dumps just as big as a Great Dane, had to be potty trained, were probably reckless as a teenager (and still are I bet), and you now spend your time making negative comments on forums of which your opinion holds no value... Maybe you shouldn't have even been born. …I mean, who would want such a disgusting/ignorant creature running around their home?

I would take another Great Dane over some Internet child prick any day.

Jimbob....a veterinarian with such a poor attitude and personality? You should hope the AVMA doesn't ever see that post or someone won't have a license anymore.....

kjo

Great Danes are the best holler if you love them

simon kang

was this trailer attached to the squeakuel?

PopcornBytes

didn't see "squeakquel" but probably, it's from the same studio and it's about animals

Evan

Why try and parody a show that's been canceled for like 4 years? Its like making a reference to Myspace. So stupid

nunya

For all you Great Dane haters -- suck it.

Rick_Dickulous

This isn't your grandpa's Marmaduke!

-cue six year old reference to canceled show.

All I can say is: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Rudin

Simpsons did it!

Great Danes, and what's the other giant asshole? Mastiffs? Why on earth would anyone bring such an animal into the home? Why not just own a horse that wants to clamber up on the couch and the bed?

I could see owning a fleet of those dogs to guard the perimeter of your home against intruders/small out of control cars, etc. But IN the house?

Re: "Great Danes, and what's the other giant asshole? Mastiffs? Why on earth would anyone bring such an animal into the home?"

One day walking with my Great Dane I heard behind a comment: "Why would anyone bring such a big dog to a park???" This was coming from the owner of 2 small, absolutely unruly, yappy, hysterical dogs that were trying to "get" my quiet and (yes!!!) regal Dane. And I thought to myself: " Why would anyone bring to a park (or own, for that matter) such..... RATS????"

No, I didn't really think of those dogs as rats, and I do NOT hate small dogs. But I am sometimes ready to hate their owners who do not train these dogs and often let them run off leash to provoke bigger dogs ---- who ARE on leash and well behaved...
You JPX are probably one of those pitiful "proud" owners! Poor, poor you...my condolences to you :-)))))))

ponayluver99

oh just shut up

Jimbob

I'll tell you what the other giant asshole is its you you giant cunt, why would you bring a fucking chihuaha into your house is the real question. But don't listen to me I'm only a veterinarian and your just a masterbator so we all have our roles I guess. don't make any more stupid comments shit head just go fuck yourself............. Great Danes are the shit

great danes Rock!

You shouldn't talk about things you obviously know nothing about! I suppose you like teacup poodles or something? Great Danes and mastiffs may be big, but they are the most loving dogs you will find. So what if they are huge. I'd rather have a house full of great danes than a person with your attitude!

Megs

Sounds like you should not own any animals....or breed

Not Tom Rothman

Beautiful. This has every chance of Best Picture at the Oscars. Such a telling, moving original story of a talking dog that has to overcome all odds and be victorious against life's many obstacles. Bravo.

Nate Carroll

As long as we're mining comics for movies ideas, why can't we at least use funny comics? For example, I would totally pay to see an XKCD movie.

JPX

If they had balls, Marmaduke would go rabid, attack Dennis the Menace next door, and then eat the Family Circus children. I would TOTALLY get behind that movie. We could eliminate all the clutter from the comics page in one swoop.

JPX

Actually, Dennis the Menace wasn't as irksome as the Circus kids. I say the rabid pooch goes for Mr. Wilson, clamps down on his ankle, drags him around the neighborhood, comes across one of those meandering dotted lines the Circus kids trail behind them, follows it home and eats everybody.

At the funeral, attended by nobody except the invisible Not Me, Marmaduke's ass end is seen in the background, as he is jumping between panels to wreak more bloody justice in Cathy (first panel, Cathy reacts by sweating, saying "Ack!").

JPX

I've always hated Marmaduke with a passion, simply because he's a breed of dog (and a size) that I would NEVER own, and he's always on the couch or in the way, or probably drooling on shit. And stinks up the house (presumably) with his Big Dog Funk. Ugh. Enraged, indeed.

And he probably takes GIANT dumps. Let's see some live-action footage of the hapless dad owner carrying a garbage bag behind Marmaduke on a walk to scoop up everything.

This marks the first I'm hearing about this movie, and I sincerely hope it's almost the last.

Great Dane owner

You are entitled to your opinon of Great Danes. I own two and I know there isn't another breed of dog that I would rather have. Yes, they are big. Yes, they take GIANT dumps. Yes, they drool all over. Yes, they have a heart as big or bigger then they themselves are. I value the pups that I have and am so happy they came into my life. Good luck to you sir or madam. I know you will have the love that my Great Danes give to me and you will know exactly what I am talking about.

GDDanes

Hated... with passion - the breed you have NO KNOWLEDGE about! How smart of you!

Jimbob

Hey Dickweed everyone hates you with a passion so why don't you just shut the fuck up so everyone can go on with there lives without you shitting on their day. Go get a fucking life, and stop trying to hate on big dogs in case you haven't noticed everyone who's actually met a large breed dog likes them so if you want to talk about something talk about something you actually have experience in like being a loser.

Jimbob

Hey shit head Great Danes are the best dog and you are a ginourmous ass. Go back to masterbating like you were before and stop writing stupid shit that nobody cares to read ever. How can anyone like danes unless........... You haven't actually ever met one ooooohhhhhhhh you just want attention how old are you 7 or 8 I guess I shouldn't be roasting on you like this

Great Danes Rock!

Putting down the movie is one thing, but putting down great danes and other large dogs is ridiculous! You can't comment on something you obviously know nothing about. Just because you would not own one, does not make them bad dogs. Yes, they are large, but they are gentle, loving, and if you properly care for your dogs and train them, they neither stink nor take up the entire couch! Get a life.

DrLickies

What the hell is the matter with you? Big dogs are great. What are you into, purse dogs?

That said, a Marmaduke movie upsets me greatly.

JPX

Sorry, I don't see the appeal of having a dog the size of a horse roaming around my house.

Heather

As yet another Great Dane owner (I actually have 3), I can also attest to the fact that they are amazing animals. They probably smell a heck of a lot better than you do and if trained, as all dogs should be, they don't get in the way at all. I would much rather have my large babies running around my house than some annoying, ugly rat dog...and as a former dog obedience trainer I can also tell you that they are a whole lot smarter than the yappy "snack dogs" that most people drag around these days.

To each his own, but I wouldn't trade mine for anything!!

joeomar

So, big dogs don't appeal to you. Actually you sound like someone who probably shouldn't own a dog at all. I also have a Great Dane, he is, as someone said, an extremely goofy dog but incredibly loving and loyal and I wouldn't give him up for anything. As far as Marmaduke... the cartoon strip is stale, repetitive and unfunny. However it has some appeal to Great Dane owners simply because Brad Anderson, who's lived with Great Danes for centuries, does a great job drawing them; the facial expressions, putting their paws on your shoulders and staring you in the face, and the way they can flop over your couch like they're boneless - all very recognizable. I don't have any hopes for the movie, but maybe there'll be some nice vids of the dog.

Dane Owner

Actually as a Great Dane owner, they are a fantastic dog. They are not droolers, they don't smell and they are an unbelievably friendly and loyal dog. Their size does make them goofy (hence the Disney character Goofy who was also based on a Great Dane), but its hilarious to see. They are very smart and quick learners making them easy to train, and I honestly love having one. Like all dogs she can be a pain in the ass, but mostly she's a great pet.

GDDanes

Guess what? Nobody is offering you to own such a dog!!!

I'd say --- you should not own even a flea...
A couple of roaches - maybe? I've heard they're soooooo resilient......

Jimbob

Hey Shit head find some other way to get human attention other than writing stupid shit so people have to write back, go get therapy or something and move out of your parents basement, I'm sure they don't want you there its probably getting awkward

DrLickies

Your fear is unfortunate.

AnantPr

I for one appreciate them mocking The O.C.

starscream9289

I wasn't even aware they were making a movie about Marmaduke.

Tori

me either. and now I want to cry, it looks so horrible.

Murdock

WOOHOO! Oscar 2010, baby!

Andrew

This has so far turned out EXACTLY like I thought it would... which is definitely not good, not in even the most remote sense.

WTF is this? So many levels of "lameness".. if that's even a word..

Aaron

Well, we are talking in Dog Years here.

AngryBroomstick
