Will Arnett to Star in Family Comedy ‘Show Dogs’
Natasha Lyonne to co-star in Open Road and Riverstone film, features famous voice cast for canine characters
Through its partnership with FilmNation Entertainment, Open Road International will handle international sales on “Show Dogs,” with Riverstone Pictures, Wales Screen (advised by Pinewood Pictures) and Pinewood Films providing financing.
Max and his human FBI partner (Arnett) investigate the kidnapping of a baby panda by an underground network of illegal animal traders when they get a tip that the crime ring is planning to sell the panda at the prestigious Canini Invitational Dog Show.
The very macho Max must undergo a makeover with the help of a seasoned trainer (Lyonne) — mud baths, ballet lessons, a Brazilian waxing – to go undercover in order to thwart the plot.
