Michael J. Fox has some experience with canine matters on screen; after all, he was the voice of Chance, the cocky bulldog in the Homeward Bound films. And then there was his hairy time in the first Teen Wolf. So he seems like the perfect choice to play a robotic rover in animated adventure A.R.C.H.I.E.
Robin Dunne has cooked this one up, writing and making his directorial debut with a movie about a scientist named Brooke Benton (Katharine Isabelle) who created the techno-hound to help people under the auspices of a military programme. He can talk, run amazingly fast and boasts super strength and x-ray vision. In your face, Benji!
But when the programme is closed down, Brooke helps her creation escape in the hopes that he can find a family to live with. He ends up in the small town of Deanewood, where he forms a bond with the lonely Isabel Sullivan (Sarah Desjardins), who has just moved to live with her uncle Paul (Dunne), town mayor and local burger restaurant owner. They’ll both need help from the powered pooch, as she could use a friend and he’s looking to retain his political position. Double Dutch International will be selling rights to the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival, and there’s no word on when the movie will arrive.
