About two weeks ago, the stars of the
Clifford the Big Red Dog movie
were announced as Jack Whitehall (
Good Omens,
Jungle Cruise) and Darby Camp (
Big Little Lies,
The Christmas Chronicles). The pair of actors will be playing Uncle Casey and Emily respectively.
Now a new report by
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed three more actors that will feature in the upcoming
Clifford movie. Kenan Thompson (best known for
Saturday Night Live), Rosie Perez (
White Men Can't Jump), and David Alan Grier (
The Cool Kids).
We don't know anything about their roles. However, other than Emily, Uncle Casey, and Clifford; we know that the
Clifford the Big Red Dog movie will include a nefarious genetics company who are after Clifford on account of his abnormal size. In all likelihood, these actors might have something to do with that.
The film is being produced by Paramount Pictures and will be directed by Walter Becker (
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip). Justin Malen is responsible for its screenplay. The film is currently set to release on November 14th, 2020 and begin shooting this month.
The movie will see Emily , who is struggling to fit in at home and at school, discover a small red puppy who is destined to become her best friend. When Clifford magically undergoes one heck of a growth spurt, becomes a gigantic dog and attracts the attention of a genetics company, Emily and her Uncle Casey have to fight the forces of greed as they go on the run across New York City. Along the way, Clifford affects the lives of everyone around him and teaches Emily and her uncle the true meaning of acceptance and unconditional love.
Clifford the Big Red Dog is set to arrive in theatres on November 14th, 2020.
