Owen Wilson in a scene from 'Marley & Me'.Owen Wilson has signed on to voice the Great Dane Marmaduke for 20th Century Fox's adaptation of the long-running comic strip, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor's attachment to the project marks the last piece of the puzzle for the live-action/CG movie.

The trade reports that the story contains elements of Fox's Marley & Me (which also starred Wilson), and will follow a family named the Winslows who move from Kansas to Orange County with their dog Marmaduke, a slobbery pooch who creates chaos wherever he goes.

In adapting the strip created in 1954 by Brad Anderson and Phil Leeming, the script by Tim Rasmussen and Vince Di Meglio sees Marmaduke navigate a volatile Mutts vs. Pedigrees turf war, woo the purebred of his dreams and overcome a fall from grace.

Judy Greer, Lee Pace and William H. Macy play the humans, while Fergie, Emma Stone, George Lopez, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Steve Coogan, Damon Wayans, Marlon Wayans supply the voices.

Marmaduke will be helmed by Tom Dey and is scheduled to arrive in theaters next June.
