A live-action movie from a dog’s perspective makes for an interesting premise in the new trailer A DOG’S PURPOSE from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), and since the family film deals with reincarnation, Shirley MacLaine will be the first one in line. Based on the trailer, this one will certainly be a tear-jerker.
Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A DOG’S PURPOSE, from director Lasse Hallström shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. The family film told from the dog’s perspective also stars Dennis Quaid, Britt Robertson, K.J. Apa, John Ortiz, Juilet Rylance, Luke Kirby, Peggy Lipton and Pooch Hall.
A DOG’S PURPOSE opens January 27, 2017.
