Hide the lasagna.

Alcon Entertainment, which is in preproduction on the sequel to Blade Runner, has picked up the rights to produce an animated adaptation of classic comic strip Garfield.

Alcon acquired the rights from Garfield creator Jim Davis, who will serve as an executive producer. The company’s goal is to turn the strip-turned-brand into a franchise of CG-animated films.

Garfield debuted in 1978, becoming a sensation in the 1980s as the strip took over best-seller lists in the form of collected book. Merchandising and cartoon specials followed. The strip holds the Guinness record for being the most widely syndicated comic strip in the world and is seen in 2,580 newspapers and journals, with an estimated readership of 260 million.

The character already hit the big-screen in the form of two live-action/cgi hybrids (Garfield: The Movie and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties) that featured Bill Murray as the voice of the cat.

The story revolved around a fat, lazy, lasagna-loving cat who never hides his contempt for his put-upon owner, Jon Arbuckle, and fellow pet Odie, a dim-witted dog.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
