‘Garfield’ Director Begs Chris Pratt To Stop Ad-Libbing Bible Verses

LOS ANGELES—In a desperate effort to get production of the animated film sequel back on schedule, Garfield Movie 2 director Mark Dindal reportedly begged lead voice actor Chris Pratt to stop ad-libbing Bible verses Thursday. “The line is ‘Is that lasagna I smell?’ not ‘A companion of gluttons shames his father,’ ” said Dindal, storming into the recording booth to confront Pratt after the 46-year-old actor went on a long, improvised tangent about how Garfield’s owner Jon Arbuckle should have dominion over the orange cartoon cat, who was “a beast of the field.” “Please, Chris, just stick to the script. If you feel the need to ad-lib something, you can throw in an ‘I hate Mondays,’ but none of that stuff about how Odie’s nakedness must be covered is making the final cut, okay? This is a children’s movie.” At press time, reports confirmed Dindal was at the end of his rope after Pratt suggested an alternate ending to the film in which Garfield burns in hell for his sins.
