Emilia Dahlin Releases Her 3rd CD, 'God Machine,' Following Performances at Telluride and North by Northeast Festivals

Singer/songwriter Emilia Dahlin will kick off the release of her latest CD and her Northeast tour at the Paradise Lounge in Boston, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, June 20th at 9 p.m. "God Machine" is Emilia's third CD, and is packed with clever lyrics and a jazzy folk craftsmanship that recalls Joni Mitchell and Rickie Lee Jones. All of the songs were written by Dahlin.

The release of "God Machine" comes after Emilia and her band put on a strong performance at the North by Northeast Festival in Toronto, Canada. Recently, she also became one of only ten people selected out of 600 nationwide to play in the troubadour contest at the Telluride Festival in Telluride, Colorado.

Radio Stations and writers can visit http://www.promoonlympe.com/ and find Emilia's single "Loneliness Is..." to hear a small taste of her big talent. Emilia's music can also be found on iTunes, Rhapsody and PureTracks. Interested music fans can also visit her newly designed Web site (design by cgCraft.com), that will launch next week at http://www.emiliadahlin.com/, and will find some of her music and concert date information.

"After several listens to Emilia's CD, one thing is very clear -- this lady can sing," said Brian Interland, Independent Music Producer in Boston, "and 'Loneliness Is...' is the track AAA radio should embrace."

Her second release party will be on June 23rd at 8:30 p.m. at Space in Portland, Maine. Portland is the city she has called home for several years. "This has been an unbelievable ride and I am extremely excited and proud of my new CD," Ms. Dahlin remarked. "My band is amazing and has really showcased their talents in this new release. I know we are ready to put on some fantastic shows this summer."

"When I first met Emilia, I sensed that I had met someone special," said Harry Nelson, Programming Director of Portland's WPOR 101.9. "I was impressed with Emilia's sensibility in her musical messages and with the adventurous path that she is taking as an artist. Listen to her music, become a fan and walk down that beautiful path with her."

Following her release parties in Boston and Portland, Emilia will head to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for a performance at the Red Door. To order "God Machine," visit http://www.cdbaby.com/ or http://www.publikmusic.com/. Press inquiries: contact Angie Helton at Northeast Media Associates.

His book on Black America topped the Borders, Barnes & Noble, USA Today, and the New York Times book lists, and his meetings have brought thousands together to discuss "How can we make Black America better?" Tavis Smiley brings his "Covenant with Black America" Tour to Greater Grace Temple on Friday, June 16th at 7:00 p.m. It's free and open to everyone.

The event is an open forum, town hall meeting where Smiley, top Black leaders (local and national), and the general public dialogue on what can be done to improve the state of Black America. Driven by hugely successful meetings in Miami, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D.C., and other cities, Smiley offers Detroiters an opportunity to make their views known on issues affecting the Black community.

Joining Smiley and the Detroit public are: Dr. Cornell West, Princeton University professor and author; Dr. Wendell Anthony, Detroit NAACP Director; Prof. Eddie Claude, Princeton educator; Detroit Congressman John Conyers; and Gail Perry-Mason, author and finance expert.

The tour is a natural outgrowth of his phenomenal bestseller "Covenant With Black America," a collection of essays by prominent African Americans that examines issues such as health, education, and criminal justice through facts, case studies and suggestions for action. Published by Third World Press, Inc., the nation's oldest independent African American book publisher, The Covenant made history by becoming the first non-fiction book by a Black publisher to reach the prestigious New York Times' Book Review when it debuted in the #6 position on March 26, 2006.

In just a few weeks, it reached #1 -- the top of the list. The book also reached the top of USA Today, Borders, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com's book lists. To date, over 400,000 books are in circulation and the tour has reached over 40,000 people in 22 cities.

"What this says to me is that our people are hungry for knowledge about the state of Black America and just as hungry for guidance, information, ideas and suggestions for how the body politic, churches, community groups, individuals and corporations can come together and get busy about the business of addressing these critical issues," said Smiley, who wrote the book's introduction.

Greater Grace Temple is located at 23500 W. Seven Mile Road in Detroit, MI. For more information call 313-543-6000 or visit http://www.greatergrace.org/ .

Subscribers to Verizon's fiber-optic FiOS TV service will be able to enjoy the rich diversity of high-definition, educational and children's programming provided by PBS and the nation's local public television stations under a major agreement announced today by the Association of Public Television Stations (APTS), PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) and Verizon. The agreement ensures that Verizon will carry local public television stations' digital programming.

APTS President & CEO John Lawson said: "This agreement is a major step forward for public service media in our country. It is the culmination of hard work by APTS, PBS and Verizon to ensure that public television's content is available to consumers who choose to receive their television programming from Verizon. At a time when some in Congress question the important contribution that public television stations make to the communities they serve, Verizon's commitment to public television and to delivering high-quality programming to its growing television-customer base is significant. The agreement also recognizes the unique role that public broadcasters play in national homeland defense efforts and provides for carriage of emergency public safety information."

PBS President and CEO Paula A. Kerger said, "The digital future holds extraordinary promise for public television. As more Americans take advantage of the wonders of technology, it is crucial they have access to the trusted, valuable content that PBS and its member stations provide. Our partnership with Verizon helps ensure viewers will be able to continue watching public television. It is an important part of a broader effort to ensure PBS and its member stations remain a daily part of American life."

Kathryn C. Brown, Verizon senior vice president for public policy development and corporate responsibility, said: "This is a wonderful example of the diverse digital programming content Verizon can provide through the power of fiber-optics. Verizon is excited to add this programming, as well as public television's new offerings available through its digital multicasts, to FiOS TV subscribers in all our markets. When Congress enacts television choice legislation this year, we hope to make quality content like this available more quickly to consumers."

Under the multiyear agreement, every Verizon FiOS TV system will carry the full digital signal of up to three public television stations within the system's service area, as well as any additional noncommercial station that does not duplicate programming of another station in the market. The agreement also includes PBS and local public television stations' HDTV programming and local stations' digital multicasts.

Verizon FiOS TV is currently available in parts of California, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Virginia and Texas. It delivers more than 400 all-digital channels, including two dozen high-definition channels, and access to an on-demand library of more than 2,500 titles. Verizon is opening new FiOS TV markets as it obtains franchise agreements giving it the authority to offer TV service. The House passed the COPE video choice bill (HR 5252) on June 8. Similar legislation is underway in the Senate. Both bills would reform the franchise process to enable competing providers to enter the cable television market more quickly.

FiOS TV subscribers will be able to see the next generation of public television programming to be available as part of local public television stations' digital multicast offerings such as "PBS Kids Go!," "Viva TV," "World," and "Create." These offerings target communities and interests that were underserved in the single channel world.

Verizon FiOS TV will carry all freely available digital data broadcast by participating public television stations, including public safety warning information and formal educational materials such as certain subscription- based educational data. Lawson said: "The guaranteed carriage of public safety warning information was an essential part of the agreement. This recognizes our partnership with the Department of Homeland Security and enables public television stations to reach FiOS TV subscribers with critical public alerts and warnings during times of crisis."

The Association of Public Television Stations (APTS) is a nonprofit membership organization established in 1980 to support the continued growth and development of a strong and financially sound noncommercial television service for the American public. APTS works closely with individual stations to produce effective strategies that allow stations to fulfill their individual missions. As broadcasters make the transition to digital transmission, APTS is working to ensure the federal government continues its commitment to universal public television services.

PBS is a media enterprise that serves 348 public noncommercial television stations and reaches almost 90 million people each week through on-air and online content. Bringing diverse viewpoints to television and the Internet, PBS provides high-quality documentary and dramatic entertainment, and consistently dominates the most prestigious award competitions. PBS is a leading provider of educational materials for K-12 teachers, and offers a broad array of other educational services. PBS' premier kids' TV programming and Web site, PBS KIDS Online (pbskids.org), continue to be parents' and teachers' most trusted learning environments for children. More information about PBS is available at pbs.org, one of the leading dot-org Web sites on the Internet.

Sean C. Covel and Chris Wyatt, producers of the international hit Napoleon Dynamite, will discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of independent film production next month at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design with "Making Your Own Dynamite: Producing Independent Film."

Beginning July 10, Covel and Wyatt will deliver a four-session course detailing the process of creating an independent film and preparing it for international distribution. The production team will outline the delicate balancing act that comes with fighting for a film's artistic merit while ensuring it can still reach the widest possible audience.

"There's a long-held belief that economic thinking is the polar opposite of the artistic process," Covel said. "In making independent films, this is absolutely untrue. Prepared producers are able to both fulfill a creative vision and look out for the bottom line."

Covel and Wyatt are expected to bring their Napoleon Dynamite experience to the table as they demystify the process of acquiring rights and developing screenplays; provide a how-to guide to securing investors and budgeting and scheduling projects; and discuss the producer's role in pre-production, production and post-production. The team will also go over the business of marketing films, showing at festivals and closing deals with distributors.

The producers are looking forward to sharing their expertise at MCAD, a college they feel is at the forefront of nurturing new creative talent.

"MCAD is devoted to empowering the next generation of local filmmakers, which is a mission that's very close to our hearts," Wyatt said. "There's sometimes a general sense that Los Angeles and New York are the only places where you can find emerging filmmakers. This isn't true. Napoleon Dynamite was created because a talented young writer-director from rural Idaho had something to say."

"Making Your Own Dynamite: Producing Independent Film" meets from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on July 10, 12, 17 and 19 inside MCAD's main auditorium. The noncredit seminar costs $260 per attendee, with a discounted rate of $234 available for MCAD alumni and members of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. For information on how to register, visit http://www.mcad.edu/ or call the MCAD Continuing Studies department at (612) 874-3765.

NBC Entices Clear Channel Radio Listeners with Television's First Global Treasure Hunt

Clear Channel (NYSE:CCU):

-- Innovative Radio Creative for Launch of "Treasure Hunters" Utilizes Flexible-Length, Episodic Spots

The NBC Agency and Clear Channel Radio today announced a unique national radio campaign for NBC's upcoming adventure/mystery reality series "Treasure Hunters,"

which premieres this Sunday, June 18 (8-10 p.m. ET). Beginning today, a serial set of spots that grow in length will run each hour on Clear Channel Radio stations in the top 15 demographic market areas. The campaign will be supported by longer-length spots on radio stations broadcasting from the top 16-50 markets.

Enticing listeners with riddles, clues and sound bites, the spots will build anticipation for each successive advertisement that Clear Channel Radio listeners will hear:

-- :05 spots between songs tease an upcoming sequence of clues and questions.

-- :15 spots run in the very next ad break with the first clue. Listeners must stay tuned to the next ad break to hear...

-- the :30 spot which will reveal the answer to the first clue and adds a second clue. This spot will also feature enhanced sound bites from the show.

-- :60 spots run in the third ad break of the hour and will add a final third clue that can only be answered by watching Sunday night's series premiere. The spots also direct listeners to the show's interactive online game which can be found at http://www.nbc.com/treasurehunters.

"In order to help promote the interactive nature of the program, we put together a breakthrough creative solution," said Tim Farish, Vice President of Media Planning, The NBC Agency. "This resulting campaign is innovative and fun, and takes advantage of the new ways radio can be utilized to make our message stand out to listeners."

"We are very proud of the creative execution that resulted from strategic thinking and a successful collaboration with NBC," said Charlie Rahilly, Executive Vice President of Operations for Clear Channel Radio. "We expect these spots, which grow in length and anticipation through the use of riddles, clues and sound bites, to really make an impression on our millions of listeners."

From the producers of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Project Runway," "Treasure Hunters" is a fast-paced adventure/mystery reality series where multi-player teams try to stay one step ahead of each other as they are mentally and physically challenged in their quest for a promised hidden treasure. The teams must avoid elimination as they travel to historically significant locations around the globe where they decipher cryptic codes and puzzles, each with a clue leading them closer to solving the ultimate puzzle, and obtaining the coveted treasure worth millions.

Laird Macintosh ("Ultimate Playground") hosts the series, which is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio in association with Magical Elves Productions, Imagine Television and Madison Road Entertainment. Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz (Bravo's "Project Runway," NBC's "Last Comic Standing") of Magical Elves Productions, along with Imagine Television's Brian Grazer ("The Da Vinci Code") and David Nevins ("Arrested Development," "24"), and Tom Mazza, Danica Krislovich and Jak Severson of Madison Road Entertainment, serve as executive producers.

LOS CRÉDITOS NO SON LOS DIFINITIVOS A LA HORA DE IMPRIMIR

GARFIELD, the world’s favorite cat, has begun his very own British Invasion,

wreaking havoc on the entire United Kingdom. He's traveled across the pond (with

canine sidekick Odie) to surprise his master, Jon Arbuckle (BRECKIN MEYER), who is

in London to propose to his girlfriend, veterinarian Liz Wilson (JENNIFER LOVE

HEWITT).

Garfield came…he saw…he conquered: Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Scotland

Yard and his new favorite dish: minced pie (okay, it’s not lasagna, but you can’t have

everything). As befitting an adventure worthy of a feline phenomenon, Garfield has

switched places with Prince, a royal cat who has just inherited a castle. Now the castle is

Garfield’s – and who’s more deserving?

In the grand estate Garfield now calls home, he’s receiving the royal treatment,

including a butler and an international array of four-legged servants and followers. It’s a

life fit for a king…even though Garfield is only a prince; in fact, he’s the real “Prince and

the Paw-purr.”

Uneasy is the head, however, that wears the crown. Lord Dargis, who is next in

line to inherit the estate, wants Prince/Garfield out of the picture. And Garfield finds his

bigger, better, more purr-fect world turned upside down in this tale of two kitties.

In 2004, Garfield, the world’s most popular comic strip character, became a major

motion picture star. His eponymous live action/computer-generated film debut, adapted

from the syndicated cartoon strip read in 2,600 newspapers by 260 million readers around

the globe, became a global blockbuster theatrically and on DVD. Garfield finally had an

epic story that was as large as his ego – one that could barely be contained by the big

screen.

Producer John Davis, whose many hits include “Doctor Dolittle” and “Daddy Day

Care,” was a natural to bring “Garfield” and the all-new follow-up feature GARFIELD:

A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES to life on the big screen. “It was about time that Garfield

becomes a big movie star,” says Davis. “He’s lazy, funny, crotchety and he has attitude.

It doesn’t matter if you’re five years old or fifty; everyone can relate to him on some

level.”

Davis is a true Garfield fan. “I loved the comic strip as a kid, and I am truly

honored that [Garfield creator] Jim Davis granted me the opportunity to take that

franchise and turn it into movies. I think Jim has created an icon that spans the world.”

Jim Davis (no relation to John) was, of course, delighted to see his creation

become an international film sensation. “I think Garfield is popular to people of all ages

for several reasons,” says Davis. “He’s a very physical animal when it comes to humor,

and kids love that. Teens identify with his resentment for authority; he’s very much his

own cat. And on an adult level, he relieves our guilt about such little foibles as over-

eating, sleeping too much, not exercising enough, or being unmotivated. He has the

courage to say and do a lot of things that we wouldn’t. So he speaks for a lot of us.”

For Garfield’s second film, John Davis wanted a bigger canvass and grander

concept worthy of Garfield’s worldwide big-screen stardom. “We wanted to take

Garfield out of his usual environs – owner Jon Arbuckle’s home on a cul-de-sac,” says

Davis, “and take him to a more exotic location.”

Davis again turned to Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow, the screenwriting duo

behind “Garfield,” as well as the live-action comedy hits “Just Married” and “Cheaper by

the Dozen,” to write Garfield’s second movie adventure.

Sokolow’s neighbors provided the inspiration for his and Cohen’s screenplay for

GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES. “A married couple who lived near me had

passed away, and their will stipulated that their maid could live in their home – provided

the maid took care of the couple’s dog,” Sokolow explains.

From that idea, Sokolow and Cohen brainstormed several other concepts they

incorporated into their screenplay. “For the new film, we wanted Garfield to be a

reactive comic character, and we needed to place him somewhere interesting where he

could react – and make him a fish out of water,” Sokolow continues. Enter Merry Ole

England… and a royal makeover for the famed feline. “There’s a sense of pomp and

circumstance in England that we thought we could have a lot of fun with,” says Joel

Cohen. “A royal lifestyle sometimes carries a ridiculous protocol, which seemed ripe for

the ‘Garfield treatment’.”

Next came the notion of a Garfield doppelganger who, while being Garfield’s

physical double, has a completely different personality. Working with John Davis and

the studio, the writers combined these ideas; then, says Sokolow, “a light bulb went on

about incorporating a prince-and-the-pauper element into the story.”

As they had done on the first “Garfield,” the writers consulted Jim Davis about

the story. “Jim understands who Garfield is better than anyone else,” says Cohen.

“Garfield’s voice and world view is very important to Jim, and was a strong influence as

we wrote the script.”

“So when we’d pitch ideas to Jim, if he didn’t like something, he’d say ‘Well

that’s nice,’ unenthusiastically,” says Sokolow. “When he really liked something, he’d

say, ‘Well that’s NICE.’ They would be the same words, but a totally different

inflection. So he steered us in his own subtle way.”

Director Tim Hill, who wrote “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” and directed

“Muppets from Space” and “Max Keeble’s Big Move,” was intrigued by Cohen and

Sokolow’s premise, leading the filmmaker to do further research on the subject of people

leaving property to their pets. “I went online and discovered many instances of owners

providing a sizeable inheritance to their pets,” says Hill. “I really liked that as a starting

point for our tale.”

Hill also appreciated the story’s British setting. “In England, Garfield’s not only

a fish out water, he’s a bull in a china shop,” says the director.

Hill and John Davis were intent on bringing back the starring cast from the

original film: Breckin Meyer as Garfield’s much put-upon owner, Jon Arbuckle, Jennifer

Love Hewitt as veterinarian Liz Wilson, the object of Jon’s affection; and, as the voice of

Garfield himself, legendary actor Bill Murray.

John Davis recalls that casting Garfield’s voice was one of the major challenges

the filmmakers faced in the debut feature. “We looked for someone with a biting,

satirical, iconic and brilliant sense of comedy, and we were fortunate to get the perfect

actor: Bill Murray.”

Jim Davis adds, “Bill Murray is hilarious. He has just the right delivery and

attitude to be the cat. It was perfect casting.

“In both films, Bill provided the perfect synergy and attitude to the character,”

Jim Davis continues. “Half the work was done when Bill agreed to do the voice because

everybody knows Bill for that attitude. Everyone knows Garfield for his attitude. So

when you have Bill’s voice, you’re halfway home.

For the first “Garfield,” the work of the animators who brought Garfield to life,

inspired Murray’s voice performance. For GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES,

Murray recorded his part in a more traditional manner, prior to production, and his voice

set the timing of the animators’ performance. “The animators listened carefully to Bill’s

voice performance,” says animation supervisor Chris Bailey, “but not to figure out

dialogue nuances; instead, they were interested in the bigger picture, i.e. what makes him

Bill Murray.

“For this film, we had worked out the growing pains we came across in the

original,” adds Bailey, who was animation supervisor on “Garfield” and whose credits

also include “X2” and “Fat Albert.”

Another returning actor, Breckin Meyer, describes his on-screen incarnation, Jon

Arbuckle, as “a sweet, albeit bumbling, adorable guy. Jon is a good yin to Garfield’s

yang.” Meyer particularly appreciated the new film’s heightened romantic stakes: Jon is

determined to propose to Liz, even if it means crossing the ocean to do so. “Jon finally

deciding to pop the question is a big step for him,” Meyer adds. “It’s one of a few ways

he becomes more courageous in this film.”

Meyer again appreciated the fact that the film’s title character was computer

generated. “I still have that small ‘issue’ of being allergic to cats,” Meyer says, “so I was

more than happy to work opposite a beanbag,” which stood in for Garfield during

principal photography.

Thanks to the decidedly low-tech stand-in, Meyer says interacting with Garfield

was much easier in the new film. “In ‘Garfield,’ I had to pantomime my scenes with a

then non-existent Garfield,” he recalls. “In this one, the black beanbag enabled me to feel

the character’s weight.

“Also, at the beginning of this production, [animation supervisor] Chris Bailey

explained to me that the more interaction I do with Garfield – petting him, scratching his

ears – the more believable Garfield becomes. So that gave me the freedom to know that I

can do no wrong. If I decided to pet him in a certain place, they’ll move Garfield to that

place. I can do whatever I want with him, and the animators will love it or fix it,” says

Meyer.

Like Meyer, Jennifer Love Hewitt was delighted to reprise her “Garfield” role. “I

grew up watching the Garfield cartoon series, and even got a big orange cat,” she says. “I

tried Garfield’s favorite dish, lasagna, for the first time when I was making the movie.

But what I now love most about Garfield is his sarcasm. I’m very sarcastic too, so I

appreciate that kind of humor.”

In GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES, Hewitt experiences an on-screen

“first.” “I’ve never been proposed to before,” admits the actress. “That element of the

story was a lot of fun.” What wasn’t new for Hewitt was working with an invisible co-

star. “In the first ‘Garfield,’ working with a co-star who wasn’t ever there, was a little

daunting,” she admits. “But, now, after that film and my television series ‘The Ghost

Whisperer,’ where I communicate with ghosts, I’m really talking to myself a lot these

days.”

Juggling schedules on GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES and “The Ghost

Whisperer” was challenging for the actress. Hewitt worked on the series Monday through

Friday night; on Sundays, she’d report to the film set. “It was a lot to handle,” Hewitt

says, “but I loved both projects, so I was very enthusiastic to come to work each day,”

she says.

Joining “Garfield” veterans Hewitt, Meyer and Murray is Scottish comedian and

actor Billy Connolly, as the villainous Lord Dargis. Connolly describes Dargis as a

“nasty, lazy piece of work. And he crashes around thinking he’s clever, but he’s really a

shifty, upper class twit.

“I love playing a bad guy,” Connolly adds. “Bad guys always get the more

interesting things to say and do.”

GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES showcases Connolly’s physical comedy

skills. “I get hit on the head with a rake, chased over a fence and bitten by a Rottweiler,

fall down a flight of stairs, a piano cover falls on my hands, and I duel with Breckin

Meyer,” says Connolly. “Everyone’s out to get me in this film. It’s real slapstick

comedy, and was a good excuse for me to just run around being silly.”

The filmmakers, including Tim Hill, appreciated Connolly’s humor and acting

talent. “Billy was very authentic in his portrayal of Lord Dargis,” says Hill. “He knows

some of the aristocracy there, so he modeled his character after some Lords he’s come

across over the years. His Dargis is always pompous – and used to getting his way.”

The filmmakers assembled an impressive cast for the voices of the animals in

GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES. Joining Bill Murray as Garfield are Tim

Curry as the upper crust voice of Prince; acclaimed English actor Bob Hoskins (“Mrs.

Henderson Presents”) as the voice of Winston, a bulldog; Rhys Ifans (“Notting Hill”) as

the voice of Scottish hare McBunny; “Frasier’s” Jane Leeves as the voice of a duck,

Eenie, “X-Men: The Last Stand’s” Vinnie Jones as the voice of an attack dog named

Rommel; Jane Horrocks as another duck, Meenie; and Sharon Osbourne of MTV’s “The

Osbournes” fame, as the voice of Christophe, a goose.

A TAIL OF TWO (CG) GARFIELDS

Animation supervisor Chris Bailey and the visual effects team at Rhythm & Hues

Studios (which worked on “Garfield,” “Dr. Dolittle” and “Dr. Dolittle 2”), together

created the on-screen Garfield, infusing him with his trademark cartoon characteristics:

girth, hooded eyes and toothy grin.

To create the CG Garfield, the filmmakers first rehearsed with a maquette (a

stuffed Garfield stand-in) so the camera operator could note Garfield’s location in a scene

at a given time, and the actors could have something to react to.

After these rehearsals, scenes were shot without a maquette or any “stand-in,” to

give the visual effects artists a space to place the CG Garfield. In part three of this

process, a neutral grey sphere, and then a shiny mirrored sphere, were photographed

exactly in the spot where Garfield ultimately would appear. This gave the animators a

sense of the direction and quantity of lights hitting him, and accurately showed

reflections of light off his flesh or his eyes.

Rhythm & Hues created a “biological” Garfield, comprised of bones, muscles and

eye color, to serve as a template for the final, animated character. The visual effects

artists scanned that material into a computer, and began building the CG characters from

the set information. Then, they recreated the camera moves and lighting that were used

on set, ultimately merging them with the animation.

Bailey worked with a team of 30 animators to bring to life Garfield and Prince.

Thanks to technical advances developed at Rhythm & Hues, the effects artists and

animators made small but important “upgrades” to Garfield. Bailey says audiences will,

at least subliminally, feel the improvements.

“In addition to more realistic hair, Garfield has a more natural looking anatomy

from his shoulders to his toes,” Bailey explains. “Garfield is more anthropomorphic in

this movie because he spends more time walking on his hind legs and using his front

paws, like hands; in the first film he walked on all fours, like a real cat. We’ve adjusted

his body so that he’ll look more appealing when he walks upright.”

The two cats are almost physically identical, but have distinct voices,

personalities, smiles, attitudes and mannerisms. “Prince walks more gracefully than

Garfield, and Prince holds his nose in the air in true upper-crust fashion,” says Bailey.

“They have different mannerisms, and of course, a different voice, since Prince is played

by Tim Curry. Garfield is a bit clumsier, and will seem heavier when he is in motion.

Prince moves like a snooty cat, and Garfield moves more like a clunky dog.”

THE ANIMALS SPEAK

As Bailey, the animators, and Rhythm & Hues worked to create a new and

improved Garfield, Vancouver- based visual effects house Rainmaker Animation and

Visual Effects gave the film’s real-life animals the power of speech – a painstaking

process taking six months, in which 200 animators mapped-out, via computer, much of

the animals’ faces.

It was imperative to have the CG and live-action animal voices recorded before

computer generation work began. Says Rhythm & Hues visual effects supervisor Betsy

Paterson: “Because the animation is so frame specific to an actor’s precise voice and

inflections, we videotaped the actors so we could incorporate some of their mannerisms

and facial expressions into the actor’s animal character.”

The one real animal who doesn’t speak is Jon’s beloved pooch – and the bane of

Garfield’s existence – Odie. Two adorable half dachshund and half cairn terriers, Tyler

and sister and Chloe, reprise their “Garfield” role as Odie. It took the dogs’ trainer,

Kristy Campbell, about four weeks, before production began, to teach them their new

behaviors for the part.

Even though the dogs look alike, they have very different personalities, and they

were called upon for different scenes. Tyler acted in the cute, sensitive or difficult scenes.

“He’s very intelligent, and takes direction very well; he’s easy to train. Chloe is great for

the really crazy stuff, like attacking a pant leg, because she’s fearless,” says Campbell.

The film’s menagerie was supplied by Birds and Animals Unlimited, and

overseen by animal coordinator Mark Forbes. One of Forbes’ biggest challenges was to

find a bull to play the character, Bolero. “I wasn’t sure you could actually train a bull,

especially to do liberty work, which is working without a halter,” says Forbes. “I

thought, you could only push a bull so far, and they’d push back. But we found an

incredible liberty livestock trainer, and his bull, Butch, performed beyond my

expectations. He’d come in and hit a mark, turn his head on cue, shake his head on cue,

and do a bow. I was ecstatic with Butch.”

At times the production must have looked like Noah’s Ark, with animals being

herded across vast soundstages and sets. To accommodate the challenges presented by

working with so many four-legged “actors,” two units filmed concurrently. The first unit,

led by director Tim Hill, shot the human actors, Garfield, Odie and, sometimes, the other

prominently-featured animals. The second unit, headed by second unit director/director

of photography Dean Cundey, ASC – who was director of photography on “Garfield” –

filmed the animals-only scenes.

Sequences in which the CG Garfield interacted with the live-action animals were

arduous and time-consuming – and, according to Cundey, sometimes the most fun to

capture. For example, one of the film’s set pieces has Garfield getting the castle

menagerie to work as a team. Their mission: create from scratch enough lasagna to feed

an empire – or at least Garfield’s insatiable taste for the dish. Theirs is a true team effort:

a dog carries a bag of flour; a bird pulls the string off the bag; a bunny cranks out pasta

from a pasta machine. It’s Garfield’s master class in cooking and teamwork.

“That scene, with so many animals, took an incredible amount of patience,” says

Dean Cundey. “The animals performed intricate movements. But it turned out to be a fun

musical sequence with each of the animals taking a different part in the process.”

Animal supervisor Mark Forbes studied the scene and talked to the animal trainers

to see which creatures were best at specific behaviors. “For instance,” says Forbes, “we

learned that our goat would be good at crushing tomatoes in a barrel, so he got that part.

We have a bull bringing garlic in and dropping it off his horn. We have a crow picking

up a string on a flour sack and flying off with it; this opens the bag.

“We also made props that were very specific to certain animals,” Forbes

continues. “There’s a pasta maker that has a little wheel and a flat piece on it so that the

rabbit can put his foot on it. Then there’s a motor that’s turning that wheel. So it looks

look like the rabbit’s actually rolling the pasta out.”

Adds Tim Hill: “We had to film the scene in several stages. First, we shot the

kitchen without any animals in it. Then we had to layer in the animals in three stages. It

took 45 different shots to make up the scene, which took four days to film.”

Cundey’s second unit filmed the aftermath of the animal’s ambitious undertaking,

where all the animals and Garfield sit and partake of their gastronomic creation.

Principal photography on GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES commenced

in England. The production shot at several London tourist attractions visited by Garfield

in the story, including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, Trafalgar Square, Big

Ben, and the Winston Churchill statue.

The production traveled to York, England to film exteriors at Castle Howard, a

magnificent 18th century estate that stood in for Prince’s home, “Carlyle Castle.”

Surrounded by 10,000 acres of breathtaking parkland and gardens, Castle Howard is one

of England’s most beautiful historic houses, and has been home to the Howard family

since it was built.

The Los Angelels-based production returned to Southern California to film at

stately Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, which doubled for Castle Carlyle interiors

and some of its gardens. Production designer Tony Burrough chose Greystone because,

as he points out, it is an “amalgamation of many English country homes.”

Los Angeles area soundstages doubled for Castle Carlyle’s ballroom and kitchen,

the latter based on the famous English estate, Burghley House in Cambridgeshire.

Burrough created an authentic English stately home within the confines of

Greystone and the studio soundstages. “But I did bear in mind,” he notes, “that this home

is in a ‘Garfield’ movie, not a Jane Austen film. Therefore everything is a little bit

brighter, lighter and more colorful than you might normally see in England.”

Garfield’s second big-screen incarnation takes the feline phenom to another level

in scale, adventure and fun. But, as Jim Davis points out, the films also bring new

dimensions to his decades-old creation. “In ‘Garfield,’ Garfield learned to accept Odie

and have some heroic moments. In GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES, he’s living

the good life in an English castle and getting pretty full of himself. Then he gets knocked

down a few notches – and gets some humility. In the end, he doesn’t save the day by

himself; he learns the value of teamwork, and works together with his ‘subjects’ to save

the day.”

But can you really teach an old cat, new tricks? One thing is for certain:

Wherever Garfield finds himself – be it at his longtime home at a suburban American

cul-de-sac, or in a grand English castle – he will always be the master of his “kingdom.”

ABOUT THE CAST

As Jon Arbuckle, BRECKIN MEYER resumes the role of Garfield’s loving

owner in GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTES.

Constantly delivering memorable performances, Meyer has quickly become one

of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents. With starring roles the hilarious DreamWorks

comedy “Roadtrip,” in Doug Liman’s ensemble feature “GO,” in the provocative drama

“54,” and of course, in the global box-office smash “Garfield,” Meyer’s resume is as

extensive as it is versatile.

He was recently seen in Disney’s highly anticipated remake, “Herbie, Fully

Loaded.” Based on the story of a classic white Volkswagen with a knack for helping

couples hook up, Herbie finds itself in the world of NASCAR racing. The adventure

comedy co-stars Lindsay Lohan, Matt Dillon and Michael Keaton. Meyer was also

recently seen working opposite Martin Lawrence in “Rebound.” The comedy focuses on

an acclaimed college hoops coach, who is demoted to a junior varsity team after a public

meltdown.

Previously, Meyer starred in the buddy-action film “Blast,” starring opposite

Eddie Griffin, and the romantic comedy, “Kate and Leopold” opposite Meg Ryan and

Hugh Jackman. Additional feature film credits include Paramount’s ensemble comedy

“Rat Race,” “Can’t Hardly Wait,” “Clueless,” “The Craft,” “Prefontaine,” and “Josie and

the Pussycats.”

In the world of television, Meyer is regularly featured as the voice of Joseph

Gribble on TV’s “King of the Hill.” He also lends many of the voices to Cartoon

Network’s “Robot Chicken” for which he also writes.

A Minnesota native, Meyer currently lives in Los Angeles.

GARFIELD, el gato favorito de todo el mundo ha iniciado su propia invasión a

las islas Británicas, creando el caos en todo el Reino Unido. Ha viajado a través del

charco (con su patiño perruno Odie) para darle la sorpresa a su amo, Jon Arbuckle

(BRECKIN MEYER), quien se encuentra en Londres para proponerle matrimonio a su

novia, la veterinaria Liz Wilson (JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT).

Garfield llegó... vio... y conquistó El Big Ben, el Palacio de Buckingham,

Scotland Yard y su nuevo platillo favorito: pastel de picadillo (ok, no es lasagna, pero no

se puede tenerlo todo). En una aventura digna de un fenómeno felino, Garfield ha

cambiado de lugar con Prince, un gato de la nobleza quien acaba de recibir en herencia

un castillo. Ahora el castillo es de Garfield -- y ¿quien se lo merece más?

En la gran mansión que ahora es el hogar de Garfield, él recibe un tratamiento

real, que incluye un mayordomo y un conjunto internacional de sirvientes y seguidores de

cuatro patas. Es una vida digna de un rey... aunque Garfield es tan solo un príncipe, de

hecho él es el auténtico “Príncipe y Menino”

Inquieta es, sin embargo, la testa que porta una corona. Lord Dagis, quien le

sigue en la línea sucesoria del castillo, quiere sacar al Príncipe Garfield de la jugada. Y

Garfield de repente encuentra que su mundo mas grande, mejor y mas purr-fecto, está

siendo puesto de cabeza en este cuento de dos gatos.

En el 2004, Garfield, el personaje de tiras cómicas más popular del mundo, se

convirtió en una estrella de largo metrajes. Su debut -- en el largo metraje de acción en

vivo/acción generada por computadora --se convirtió en la epónima de este tipo de

cintas habiendo sido adaptada de la cinta cómica sindicada que es leída en 2,600

periódicos por 260 millones de lectores en todo el mundo. Garfield al fin tiene una

historia épica que es tan grande como su ego – y una que apenas puede ser contenida por

la pantalla grande.

El Productor John Davis, cuyos muchos créditos incluyen “Doctor Dolittle” y

“Daddy Day Care,” fue la elección natural para llevar a “Garfield,” y a la completamente

nueva segunda parte intitulada GARFIELD 2, a cobrar vida sobre la pantalla. Ya era

tiempo que Garfield se convirtiera en una estrella de cine,” dice Davis. “El es un

personaje flojonazo, simpático y con mucho carácter. No importa si tienes cincuenta

años de edad ó cinco, todos nos podemos identificar con él en un nivel ú otro”.

Davis es un auténtico fan de Garfield. “Amé la cinta cómica cuando era chiquillo

y fui verdaderamente honrado cuando (el creador de Garfield) Jim Davis me dio la

oportunidad de tomar esa franquicia y convertirla en una película. Yo creo que Jim ha

creado un icono que abarca a todo el globo.

Jim Davis (ningún parentesco con John) estuvo, desde luego, encantado de ver a

su creación convertirse en una sensación del cine internacional. “Yo creo que Garfield es

popular con la gente de todas las edades por varias razones,” dice Davis. “Él es un

animal muy físico en tratándose de humor y a los chicos eso les encanta. Los

adolescentes se identifican con su rebelión ante la autoridad, él es un gato muy autónomo.

Y a un nivel ya de adulto, Garfield personifica nuestro sentimiento de culpa en torno a

nuestras pequeñas fallas, tales como comer en exceso, dormir demasiado, no hacer

suficiente ejercicio, ó a estar sin motivación. Él tiene el valor de decir y hacer muchas

cosas que nosotros no haríamos. Así es que Garfield es el vocero de muchos de nosotros.

Para la segunda película de Garfield, John Davis quería un lienzo mas amplio y

un concepto mas grandioso que fuese digno del estrellato de Garfield a nivel mundial.

“Queríamos sacar a Garfield de su ambiente acostumbrado – la casa de John Arbuckle en

una calle cerrada," dice Davis, “y llevarlo a una locación mas exótica.”

Davis de nuevo volteó a Joel Cohen y Alec Sokolow, el dúo de guionistas que

trabajaron en el “Garfield” original, así como en éxitos de comedia en vivo tales como

“Just Married” y “Cheaper by the Dozen,” para que escribieran la segunda aventura

fílmica de Garfield.

Los vecinos de Sokolow proveyeron la inspiración para el guión cinematográfico

que crearon él y Cohen para GARFIELD 2. “Un matrimonio que vivía cerca de mí había

ya fallecido y en su testamento estipularon que la sirvienta podría seguir viviendo en su

casa -- siempre y cuando ella cuidara de un par de perros que habían pertenecido a la

pareja." nos explica Sokolow.

A partir de esa idea, Sokolow y Cohen elaboraron varios conceptos adicionales

que incorporaron a su guión fílmico. “Para la nueva película, queríamos que Garfield

fuese un personaje cómico reactivo, por lo que fue necesario colocarlo en algún lugar

interesante en donde pudiese reaccionar al convertirlo en una especie de pescado fuera

del agua," continua Sokolow. Entra en escena la Alegre y Vieja Inglaterra... y una re-

edición real para el afamado felino. “Hay un sentido de pompa y circunstancia en

Inglaterra con la cual sentimos que nos podíamos divertir mucho,” dice Joel Cohen. “Un

estilo de vida real que a veces conlleva un protocolo ridículo, lo cual parecía estar a punto

para que recibiera el "tratamiento Garfield."

Enseguida nos llegó la noción de un doppleganger de Garfield, el cual, siendo

idéntico en el aspecto físico a Garfield, tenía una personalidad diateralmente distinta.

Trabajando en conjunto con John Davis y el estudio, los guionistas combinaron esas ideas

y enseguida, dice Sokolow, se les prendió el foco de incorporar un elemento tipo “el

Príncipe y el Mendigo” a la historia.

Como lo habían hecho en el primer “Garfield”, los escritores consultaron con Jim

Davis acerca de la historia. “Jim comprende quien es Garfield mejor que cualquier otra

persona," dice Cohen. “La voz y la visión mundial de Garfield son muy importantes para

Jim, y tuvo una fuerte influencia sobre nosotros mientras escribíamos el guión.”

“Asi es que le lanzábamos ideas a Jim, y si algo no le gustaba nos decía, “Bueno,

está bien", con muy poco entusiasmo,” dice Sokolow. “Cuando algo realmente le

gustaba, nos decía “Bueno eso está MUY BIEN.” Eran las mismas palabras, pero con

una entonación totalmente distinta. De tal forma nos guiaba muy sutilmente a su

manera."

El director Tim Hill, quien escribió “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” y

dirigió la película “Muppets from Space” y “Max Keeble’s Big Move,” estuvo intrigado

con la premisa de Cohen y Sokolow lo cual condujo al cineasta a hacer alguna

investigación en torno al asunto de las personas que le dejen propiedades a sus mascotas.

“Me fui al Internet y descubrí muchas instancias en donde los dueños le legaban fortunas

considerables a sus mascotas” dice Hill. “Realmente me gustó este punto de arranque

para nuestra historia.”

A Hill también le gustó la ambientación inglesa de la historia. “En Inglaterra,

Garfield no solo es un pez fuera de agua... sino todo un chivo en cristalería,” dice el

director.

Hill y John Davis tenían la firme intención de volver a poner en escena al reparto

de la cinta original.: Breckin Meyer como el muy vilipendiado dueño de Garfield, Jon

Arbuckle, Jennifer Love Hewitt como la veterinaria Liz Wilson, el objeto de los afectos

de John, y en la voz del mismo Garfield, al legendario actor Bill Murray.

John Davis recuerda que el buscar al protagonista de la voz de Garfield fue uno de

los grandes retos a los que se enfrentaron los cineastas en la película original.

“Estábamos buscando a alguien con un sentido de humor mordaz, satírico, icónico y

brillante, y tuvimos la suerte de conseguir al actor perfecto. Bill Murray.”

Jim Davis añade, “Bill Murray es hilarante. Tiene el bis cómico y la actitud justa

para ser un gato. Fue un reparto perfecto.

“En ambas cintas, Bill aporta la perfecta sinergia y actitud al personaje,” continua

Jim Davis. “La mitad del trabajo ya estaba hecho cuando Bill accedió a interpretar a la

voz, pues todo el mundo conoce a Bill por su carácter y todo mundo reconoce a Garfield

por esa misma actitud. Así es que cuando tienes la voz de Bill, ya está la mitad del

camino recorrido.

Para el primer “Garfield,” el trabajo de los animadores, quienes le dieron vida a

famoso felino, fue lo que inspiró la actuación vocal de Murray. Para GARFIELD 2,

Murray grabó de manera tradicional su parte antes de la producción y su voz fijó el ritmo

del desempeño de los animadores. “Los animadores escucharon con cuidado la

interpretación vocal de Murray,” dice el supervisor de animación Chris Bailey, “pero no

para entender las particularidades del dialogo; sino que estaban interesados en un

panorama mas amplio, i.e. lo que lo hace ser “Bill Murray”.

“Para esta cinta, habíamos ya solucionado los problemas iniciales con los que nos

topamos en la original," añade Bailey, quien fue el supervisor de animación en "Garfield"

y cuyos créditos también incluyen "X2" y "Fat Albert".

Otro actor que regresa, Breckin Meyer, describe su encarnación a pantalla, Jon

Arbuckle, como un tipo adorable y dulce no obstante sus constantes dislates. “Jon es un

buen yin al yang de Garfield.” A Meyer le gustó en lo particular la ampliada faceta

romántica de la nueva cinta.

Jon está decidido a proponerle matrimonio a Liz, aunque tenga que cruzar el

océano para hacerlo.

“Jon finalmente decide hacerle a Liz la propuesta, lo cual constituye un gran paso

para él,” añade Meyer. “Esta es solo una de las varias maneras en las que Jon se vuelve

un poco mas valeroso en esta película,”

Meyer de nuevo estuvo agradecido que el personaje principal de la cinta era

generado por computadora. “Todavía tengo ese pequeño “problemita” de ser alérgico a

los gatos," dice Meyer, "Así es que estuve mas que contento de trabajar a lado de un

muñeco de trapo quien tomaba el lugar de Garfield durante la filmación principal.

Gracias a lo que fue un re-emplazo de baja tecnología para el personaje; Meyer

dice que interactuar con Garfield fue mucho más fácil en esta nueva película. “En

Garfield,” tuve que hacer pantomima en las escenas con un Garfield no existente,” lo

recuerda. “Pero en esta versión, trabajar con el muñeco negro me permitió sentir el peso

del personaje.

“También, al principio de esta producción, [el supervisor de animación] Chris

Bailey me explicó que mientras mas interactuaba con Garfield – acariciándolo, rascando

sus orejas – mas creíble se volvía el personaje. Así es que eso me dio la libertad de saber

que no me podía equivocar. Si yo decidía el acariciarlo en un lugar determinado, ellos

pondrían a Garfield en ese lugar Puedo hacer lo que yo quiera con él a y los animadores

les tendrá que gustar ó tendrán que arreglarlo.” dice Meyer.

Al igual que Meyer, Jennifer Love Hewitt estuvo encantada de repetir su papel en

“Garfield”. “Yo crecí viendo la serie de caricaturas de Garfield, y hasta tengo un gran

gato anaranjado," nos comenta. “Probé el platillo favorito de Garfield, la lasagna, por

primera vez cuando estaba haciendo la película. Pero lo que mas adoro de Garfield es su

sarcasmo. Yo también soy muy sarcástica, así es que aprecio ese tipo de humor."

En GARFIELD 2, Hewitt experimenta una experiencia nueva a pantalla. “Nunca

me habían propuesto matrimonio antes,” admite la actriz. “Ese elemento en la historia

fue muy divertido.” Lo que no fue novedoso para Hewitt fue el trabajar con un co-estelar

invisible. “En el primer “Garfield”, el trabajar con un co-estelar que no estaba

físicamente presente fue algo intimidatorio,” ella nos confiesa. “Pero ahora, después de

esa película y mi serie de televisión “The Ghost Whisperer,” en la cual me comunico con

fantasmas, realmente me encuentro hablando mucho a solas a últimas fechas.”

Haciendo malabares con sus itinerarios en GARFIELD 2 y “Ghost Whisperer”

fue todo un reto para la actriz. Hewitt trabajó en la serie de lunes a viernes en la noche, y

los domingos se reportaba al set de filmación. “Fue mucho batallar,” Hewitt dice, “pero

estaba encantada con ambos proyectos así es que estuve muy entusiasmada de venir a

trabajar cada día,” nos dice.

Uniéndose a los veteranos de “Garfield, Hewitt, Meyer y Murray está el actor y

comediante escocés Billy Connolly como el villano Lord Dargis. Connolly describe a

Dargis como “un tipo ruin y flojo que va por ahí pensando que es muy listo; pero en

realidad es un tonto timador de clase alta”.

“Me encanta interpretar a los villanos,” añade Connolly. “A los tipos malos

siempre les toca decir y hacer mas cosas interesantes.”

En GARFIELD 2 se hace gala de los atributos para la comedia física de Connolly.

“Me golpean en la cabeza con un rastrillo, me corretea hasta una cerca y me muerde un

Rottweiler, me caigo por una escalera, la cubierta de un piano me coge una mano y tengo

un duelo con Breckin Meyer," dice Connolly. “Todos me quieren agredir en esta cinta.

Es una comedia muy física, y fue una buena excusa para que yo corra por ahí haciéndome

el tonto."

Los cineastas, incluyendo a Tim Hilll, apreciaron mucho el humor y el talento

para la actuación de Connolly. “Billy fue muy auténtico en su interpretación de Lord

Dargis,” dice Hill. “El conoce a algunos aristócratas de por allá, así es que modeló su

personaje a partir de algunos "Lords" con los que se ha topado a lo largo de los años. Su

Dargis es siempre un tipo pomposo – que está acostumbrado a que se le de por su lado.

Los cineastas conjuntaron a un reparto impresionante para interpretar las voces de

los animales. Uniéndose a Bill Murray, quien interpreta a Garfield, están Tim Curry

como la aristocrática voz del Príncipe; el aclamado actor inglés Bob Haskins (Mrs.

Hederson Presents”) como la voz de Winston el bulldog; Rhys Ifans (“Notting Hill”)

como la voz de la liebre escocesa McBunny; Jane Leeves de la serie “Frasier” como la

voz del pato Eenie, Vinnie Jones de la película "X Men, The Last Stand” como la voz

del perro de ataque Rommel; Jane Horrock interpretando a otro pato llamado Meenie, y

Sharon Osbourne de la famosa serie de la MTV "The Osbournes" como la voz de la

gansa Christophe.

UN CUENTO DE DOS (CG) GARFIELDS

El supervisor de animación Chris Bailey y el equipo de efectos visuales en los

Estudios Rythm & Hues (los cuales trabajaron en "Garfield", "Dr. Dolittle” y “Dr.

Dolittle 2”), juntos crearon al Garfield a pantalla; imbuyéndolo con los rasgos

característicos de la tira cómica: gordura, ojos semi-cerrados y una sonrisa que muestra

toda la dentadura.

Para crear al Garfield CG (Generado por Computadora), los cineastas primero

ensayaron con una maqueta (un muñeco de peluche) para que el operador de cámara

pudiese tomar nota de la ubicación de Garfield en la escena en cualquier momento

determinado y que los actores tuviesen alguna referencia visual para su representación.

Después de los ensayos, las escenas fueron filmadas sin la "maqueta" ó cualquier

otro sucedáneo para darle al artista de efectos visuales un espacio en donde colocar al

Garfield CG. En la tercera parte de este proceso, una esfera gris neutral, y enseguida una

esfera de espejo brillante fueron fotografiadas en el lugar exacto en donde finalmente

aparecería Garfield. Esto les dio a los animadores un sentido de la dirección y la cantidad

de luces que lo iluminaban y de manera exacta mostraban los reflejos de la luz a partir de

su cuerpo o sus ojos.

Rhythm & Hues creó un Garfield “biológico,” compuesto de huesos, músculos y

color de ojos para que sirviera de templete para el personaje animado final. Los artistas

de efectos visuales metieron ese material por medio de un “scanner” a la computadora y

empezaron a crear a los personajes CG a partir de ese juego de información. Enseguida

recrearon los movimientos de cámara y luces que se utilizaron en el set, uniéndolos todos

finalmente con la animación.

Bailey trabajó con un equipo de 30 animadores para darle vida a Garfield y a

Prince. Gracias a los avances técnicos desarrollados en Rhythm & Hues, los artistas de

efectos y los animadores hicieron pequeños pero significativas mejoras a Garfield.

Bailey dice que las audiencias notarán, cuando menos de manera subliminal, estos

cambios.

“Además de pelambre mas realista, Garfield tiene una anatomía que luce mas

natural desde sus hombros hasta los dedos de sus pies,” explica Bailey. “Garfield es mas

antropomórfico en esta película, pues pasa mas tiempo caminando sobre sus patas

traseras y utilizando sus patas delanteras como manos; en su primera película caminaba

sobre sus cuatro patas como lo haría un verdadero gato. Hemos ajustado su cuerpo para

que se vea mas atractivo cuando camina erguido.

Los dos gatos son casi idénticos físicamente, pero tienen voces, personalidades,

sonrisas, actitudes y manerismos distintos. “Prince camina con mayor gracia que

Garfield y se mantiene con la nariz en el aire, muy al estilo de las clases superiores,” dice

Bailey. “Ellos tienen diferentes manerismos, y desde luego, diferentes voces, pues Prince

es interpretado por Tim Curry. Garfield es un poco mas torpe, y parecerá ser mas pesado

cuando esté en movimiento. Prince se mueve como un gato presumido y Garfield como

un perro torpe.

HABLAN LOS ANIMALES

Al tiempo en que Bailey, los animadores y Rhythm & Hues trabajaban para crear

un nuevo y mejorado Garfield, la casa de efectos especiales con base en Vancouver

Rainmaker Animation and Visual Effects, le daba a los animales de carne y hueso de la

cinta el poder del habla. – un proceso meticuloso que se llevó seis meses y en el cual 200

animadores hicieron mapas vía computadora de la mayor parte de los rostros de los

animales.

Era imperativo que se tuvieran todas las voces de los animales, tanto de CG como

los de carne y hueso, grabadas antes de empezar el trabajo de generación por

computadora. Dice la supervisora de efectos visuales de Rhythm & Hues, Betsy

Paterson: “Debido a que la animación es tan especifica - cuadro por cuadro - a la voz y

las inflexiones precisas del actor; video grabamos a los actores para que pudiéramos

incorporar algunos de sus manerísmos y expresiones faciales en el personaje animal que

interpretan.

El único animal real que no habla, es el amado perro de Jon -- y la maldición

existencial de Garfield – Odie. Dos adorables perros, mitad dachshund, mitad cairn

terriers, Tyler y su hermana Chloe, repiten en el role de la primera película Garfield,

como Odie. Le tomó a la entrenadora de los perros, Kristy Campbell como cuatro

semanas, antes de iniciar la producción, para enseñar a los perros nuevas conductas para

interpretar su papel.

Y aunque los perros se parezcan mucho entre sí, ambos tienen personalidades

diferentes y se utilizaron para escenas distintas. Tyler actuó en las escenas simpáticas,

sensitivas ó difíciles. Él es muy inteligente y obedece muy bien a las instrucciones; es

muy fácil de entrenar. Chloe es fantástica para las cosas realmente alocadas, como el

atacar una pierna de pantalón, pues ella es una perra muy valerosa,” dice Campbell.

El conjunto de animales de la cinta fue suministrado por Birds and Animals

Unlimited y supervisado por el coordinador de animales, Mark Forbes. Uno de los retos

mas grandes para Forbes, fue encontrar a un toro que interpretara el personaje de Bolero.

“No estaba seguro si realmente se podía entrenar a un toro... en especial para trabajar de

manera “libre”, esto es sin arnés,” dice Forbes. “Yo pensaba que solo se podía conducir

a un toro hasta cierto punto antes de que este se rebelara y se pusiera agresivo. Pero

encontramos a un fabuloso entrenador de ganado “libre” y su toro “Butch”, se desempeñó

mucho mejor de lo que se esperaba. El toro entraba en escena, se paraba en su marca,

volteaba su cabeza cuando se le pedía, la agitaba y hasta hacia una pequeña reverencia.

Yo estuve fascinado con Butch.”

A veces la producción debió de haber parecido como la Arca de Noé, con los

animales siendo conducidos de un lado a otro a través los amplios foros y sets. Para

acomodar los retos que se presentaban al trabajar con tantos “actores” de cuatro patas,

dos unidades de filmación trabajaron al unísono. La primera unidad, conducida por el

director Tim Hill, filmó a los actores humanos, a Garfield, a Odie, y a otros animales con

papeles destacados dentro de la cinta. La segunda unidad, encabezada por el director de

segunda unidad/director de fotografía Dean Cundey, ASC - quien fue director de

fotografía en "Garfield" - filmó solo las escenas con animales.

Las secuencias en donde el Garfield de CG interactuaba con los animales en vivo,

eran arduas y consumían grandes cantidades de tiempo y, de acuerdo con Cundey, eran a

veces las mas divertidas de filmar. Por ejemplo, una de las escenas de la película, tiene a

Garfield instando a los animales del castillo a que trabajen como un equipo. Su misión:

crear a partir de cero la cantidad suficiente de lasagna para alimentar a un imperio – o

cuando menos el insaciable gusto de Garfield por ese platillo. Lo que ellos hicieron fue

un verdadero esfuerzo de equipo. Un perro lleva una bolsa con harina, un pájaro jala el

cordón para abrirla, un conejo despacha pasta de una máquina especial. Es la clase

magisterial de Garfield en el arte de cocinar y trabajar en equipo.

“Esa escena con tantos animales, tomó una cantidad increíble de paciencia,” dice

Dean Cundey. “Los animales llevaron acabo movimientos muy intricados. Pero terminó

siendo una divertida experiencia musical, con cada animal tomando una parte distinta en

el proceso.

El supervisor de animales, Mark Forbes, estudió la escena y habló con los

entrenadores de animales para ver que criaturas eran las mas adecuadas para dar

comportamientos específicos. “Por ejemplo,” dice Forbes, “aprendimos que nuestra

cabra era buena para aplastar tomates en un barril, así es que ese fue el papel que obtuvo.

Hicimos que el toro trajera el ajo y lo dejara caer de sus cuernos. Tuvimos a un cuervo

tomando el hilo de un saco de harina y emprendiendo el vuelo; esto lo abrió.

“También hicimos piezas de tramoya que eran muy específicas para ciertos

animales,” continua Forbes. Hay una máquina para hacer pasta que tiene una rueda

pequeña y una pieza plana para que el conejo pudiera colocar ahí su pata. Y luego hay un

motor que hace girar a la rueda. Así que parece que el conejo realmente está haciendo

salir a la pasta.

Añade Tim Hill: “Tuvimos que filmar en varias etapas. Primero, filmamos la

cocina sin animales en ella y luego tuvimos que ir incluyendo a los animales en tres

etapas. Se llevó 45 tomas distintas para completar la escena, la cual se tomó cuatro días

en filmar.

La segunda unidad de Cundey filmó las consecuencias de la ambiciosa labor de

los animales; en donde todos estos y Garfield se sientan a disfrutar de su creación

gastronómica.

La fotografía principal para GARFIELD 2 se inició en Inglaterra. La producción

filmó en varias atracciones turísticas londinenses que Garfield visita durante la historia

incluyendo Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, y la

estatua de Winston Churchill.

La producción viajó a York, Inglaterra para filmar exteriores en el Castillo

Howard, una magnifica mansión del siglo 18 la cual se desempeñó como el hogar de

Prince, “Carlyle Castle.” Rodeado de 10,000 acres de maravillosos parques y jardines, el

Castillo Howard es una de las casas históricas más bellas de Inglaterra y ha sido el hogar

de la familia Howard desde que fue construida.

La producción basada en Los Ángeles regresó al sur de California a filmar en la

lujosa mansión Greystone en Beverly Hills, la cual se utilizó para simular los interiores

del Castillo Carlye asi como algunos de sus jardines. El diseñador de producción Tony

Burrough seleccionó Greystone porque, como nos lo hace ver, es una amalgama de

muchas residencias campestres inglesas.

Foros fílmicos en Los Ángeles fueron utilizados para simular el salón de fiestas

del Castillo Carlyle y su cocina; esta última modelada a partir de la que existe en la

legendaria mansión inglesa Burghley House en Cambridgeshire.

Burrough creó una auténtica mansión inglesa dentro de los confines de Greystone

y los foros del estudio. “Pero siempre tuve en cuenta,” nos hace notar, “que esta casa está

en una película de Garfield y no en un filme de Jane Austen. Por lo tanto, todo es un

poco mas brillante, ligero, y mas colorido que lo que uno está acostumbrado a ver un

Inglaterra.”

La segunda encarnación de Garfield sobre la pantalla grande lleva al fenómeno

felino a otro nivel en la escala de la aventura y la diversión. Pero, como lo señala Jim

Davis, la película también lleva a nuevas dimensiones a esta creación que ya data de

varias décadas. “En Garfield”, Garfield aprendió a aceptar a Odie y tuvo algunos

momentos heroicos. En GARFIELD 2, él esta viviendo la buena vida en un castillo

inglés y se encuentra bastante satisfecho de sí mismo. Luego lo hacen caer algunos

escaños -- y consigue ser algo mas humilde. Al final, no termina por ser el héroe de la

película por si solo; aprende el valor de trabajar en equipo y colabora con sus "súbditos"

para salvar el día.

¿Pero realmente se le pueden enseñar a un gato viejo trucos nuevos? Una cosa si

es segura: En donde quiera que se encuentre Garfield – sea en su hogar de toda la vida en

una calle cerrada en un suburbio americano ó en un gran castillo inglés – él siempre será

el amo de su “reino”.

ACERCA DEL REPARTO

Interpretando a Jon Arbuckle, BRECKIN MEYER retoma su papel como el

amoroso dueño de Garfield en la película GARFIELD 2.

Constantemente entregando actuaciones memorables, Meyer rápidamente se ha

convertido en uno de los mas buscados talentos de Hollywood. Con papeles estelares en

la hilarante comedia de la DreamWorks “Roadtrip,” en el largo metraje de Doug Liman

“GO,” en el provocativo drama “54,” y desde luego en el éxito de taquilla a nivel mundial

“Garfield,” el currículo de Meyer es tan extenso como versátil.

Meyer recientemente fue visto en la muy anticipada repuesta en escena de la cinta

de Disney, “Herbie, Fully Loaded.” Basada en la historia de un clásico Volkswagen

color blanco que tiene la habilidad de hacer que se casen las parejas, Herbie se encuentra

ahora en el mundo de las carreras NASCAR. La aventura cómica co-estelariza a Lindsay

Lohan, Matt Dillon y Michael Keaton. Meyer también recientemente fue visto

trabajando a lado de Martin Lawrence en “Rebound.” La comedia se enfoca en un

aclamado entrenador de básquetbol colegial quien es degradado a entrenador de un

equipo de segunda fuerza después de un escándalo público.

De manera previa, Meyer estelarizó en la cinta de amistad y acción “Blast,”

estelarizando a lado de Eddie Griffin, y en la comedia romántica, “Kate and Leopold” a

lado de Meg Ryan y Hugh Jackman. Otros créditos adicionales en largo metrajes

muchos de los personajes de la caricatura de la Cartoon Network “Robot Chicken,” serie

para la cual también escribe.

Un nativo de Minnesota, Meyer actualmente vive en Los Ángeles.

Interpretando a Liz Wilson, el amorcito de Jon Arbuckle, JENNIFER LOVE

HEWITT repite en su personaje de “Garfield” para la cinta GARFIELD 2. Como una de

las mas solicitadas actrices jóvenes de Hollywood, Hewitt regresó a las series televisivas

este otoño estelarizando en la exitosa serie dramática de la CBS, “Ghost Whisperer.”

Ella interpreta el papel de una recién casada quien entrega mensajes de los muertos para

los vivos.

Hewitt de manera reciente terminó la producción en dos largo metrajes

independientes “The Truth About Love” y “If Only”; ella fue la productora de esta última

a través de su compañía de producción LoveSpell Entertainment.

Ella también estelarizó en la cinta de acción/comedia de la DreamWorks “The

Tuxedo” a lado de Jackie Chan como una agente de inteligencia quien se enfrenta a un

malévolo magnate corporativo, y en la cinta de la MGM “Heartbreakers,” con Sigourney

Award en 1998. Hewitt también ha estelarizado en las segundas partes de películas tales

como “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,” y las comedias “Can’t Hardly Wait,”

“The Suburbans,” y “Sister Act 2.”

BILLY CONNOLLY interpreta al malvado Lord Dargis en GARFIELD 2.

Aunque es mejor conocido como un cómico de centro nocturno quien ya ha

estado de gira por todo el mundo, el escocés Billy Connolly rindió una conmovedora

actuación como el fiel sirviente John Brown en la altamente aclamada película “Mrs.

Brown” a lado de Dame Judy Dench. Sus otros créditos fílmicos incluyen “Lemony

Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events,” “The Last Samurai” y “Timeline.” Otros

créditos fílmicos previos incluyen “White Oleander,” “The Boondock Saints,” “Beautiful

Joe,” “An Everlasting Piece,” “The Imposter,” “Absolution” con Richard Burton,

La carrera ecléctica de Connolly también incluye presentaciones en la obra de la

BBC “Androcles And The Lion,” la producción de la Opera Escocesa a “Die

Fleidermaus,” y su propia obra “The Red Runner,” la cual se presentó a auditorios

repletos en el Festiva de Edimburgo. Connolly empezó su carrera como músico, viajando

en las giras con Gerry Rafferty y la banda folclórica The Humblebums. En 1971

interpretó su primer concierto como solista. Esto lo condujo al espectáculo “The Great

Northern Welly Boot Show,” una mezcla de música y narrativa que estableció su talento

como un popular hombre del entretenimiento. De ahí pasó a lanzar un álbum doble y el

éxito sencillo No. 1, “D.I.V.O.R.C.E.” Desde entonces, él ha lanzado numerosos discos

cómicos exitosos y ha publicado varios libros cómicos.

BILL MURRAY (como la voz de Garfield) ha sido alabado por sus

interpretaciones tanto en cintas serio/cómicas como en películas éxitos de taquilla.

ACERCA DE LOS CINEASTAS

TIM HILL (Director) hizo su debut dirigiendo largo metrajes con la cinta de la

Sony “Muppets From Space.” Su segundo largo metraje fue la comedia de la Disney,

“Max Keeble’s Big Move.” Hill ha dirigido series de televisión tales como “Skeeter” y

“Wellcome Freshmen” para Nickelodeon y “Exit 57” para Comedy Central.

Como escritor, Hill empezó su carrera trabajando en "sketches" cómicos en vivo

en la ciudad de Nueva York, escribiendo y montando musicales “Off Broadway,” y

haciendo comedia de “sketch” con la compañía de comedia “Chucklehead.” Mas tarde se

mudó a la animación en la televisión, escribiendo y desarrollando programas para

Nickelodeon y Disney. Él ayudó a desarrollar la exitosa serie, “SpongeBob SquarePants”

con Steve Hillenberg, convirtiéndose en el escritor en jefe de ese programa y más

adelante, en escritor y editor de historia en “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.”

Hill ha trabajado como escritor, editor, productor y director en un número de

su esposa para la familia de la cadena ABC.

JOHN DAVIS (Productor) es presidente de la empresa Davis Entertainment, y

uno de los mas prolíficos productores en Hollywood de importantes largo metrajes y

películas para la televisión. Sus mas de 65 películas y producciones para la televisión

han ganado por encima de $2 billones de dólares en el mundo entero.

Las tres divisiones en la empresa de Davis, largo metrajes, películas

independientes, y televisión – desarrollan y producen proyectos para el cine y la

televisión para los estudios más importantes, distribuidores independientes, cadenas

televisivas y empresas de difusión por cable. La compañía actualmente tiene un trato de

premisa de producción con la Twentieth Century Fox, y tiene más de 30 proyectos de

largo metrajes en desarrollo en varios de los grandes estudios.

Una característica del éxito de Davis, es su habilidad para atraer a los más

exitosos actores, directores, escritores y otros talentos artísticos a sus producciones. Su

probada habilidad para encontrar y desarrollar proyectos comerciales, aunado a sus

relaciones creativas de largo plazo, dan cuenta de su consistencia para producir

producciones teatrales tanto de gran como de modesta escala, así como grandes películas

para la televisión y programación especializada para las cadenas de cable.

Davis recientemente terminó ó está cerca de terminar cuatro largo metrajes:

GARFIED 2, “Eragon,” basada en un popular libro para adolescentes y adaptada para la

pantalla, la cual narra la historia de un hombre joven y su dragón; “When a Stranger

Calls,” una repuesta en escena de la cinta clásica de horror, dirigida por Simon West; y

“Dr. Dolittle 3,” la cual trata ahora sobre la hija del Dr. Dolittle, Maya, en la tercera parte
