Darby Camp, one of the stars in the award winning, Big Little Lies, and British comedian Jack Whitehall are set to have a date with a big red dog.
The actress, who is also one of the stars of AMC’s upcoming horror show N0S4A2, has been confirmed for the leading role in Clifford, the Big Red Dog, Paramount’s adaptation of the classic kids-book series. Whitehall, meanwhile, has snagged the leading adult role.
Walt Becker is directing the project, which is to begin shooting in New York in June. The premise of the upcoming film will see
Emily (Camp) struggling to fit in at home and at school, discover a small red puppy who is destined to become her best friend. When Clifford magically undergoes one heck of a growth spurt, becomes a gigantic dog and attracts the attention of a genetics company, Emily and her Uncle Casey (Whitehall) have to fight the forces of greed as they go on the run across New York City. Along the way, Clifford affects the lives of everyone around him and teaches Emily and her uncle the true meaning of acceptance and unconditional love.
