A classic tale of puppy love, labrador style. Word is that Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson of recent You, Me and Dupree fame will be starring in an adaptation called Marley Me. John Grogan had written the tale from his memoirs regarding his own labrador retriever who was apparently famous for his own mischievous habits.
John Grogan wrote the story about his life with the labrador in 2005 to aid in the preparation of parenthood. I'm all for therapeutic memories and the belief of cleansing the soul through putting thoughts on paper, but how does a tale about a dog get a person in shape for parenting? Apparently it has something to do with working through unexpected chaos. I suppose we'll have to wait until the film releases to see, won't we?
Production is reported to begin in 2008.
