HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Owen Wilson has fetched another role with plenty of bite.
The 40-year-old actor has signed on to voice "Marmaduke" in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the long-running comic strip, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The story will revolve around a family named the Winslows who move from Kansas to Orange County with their dog Marmaduke, a slobbery pooch who creates chaos wherever he goes. "[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 trade paper said.
The movie is scheduled to hit theaters in June 2010.
Wilson previously found success in the 2008 dog film "Marley & Me," in which he co-starred alongside Jennifer Aniston.
