He had success voicing Rocket Raccoon in Guardians Of The Galaxy and Bradley Cooper has decided to share his tonsil talents with another member of the animal kingdom. He’s in negotiations to voice the main canine character in Lasse Hallstrom’s **A Dog’s Purpose{
Adapted from W. Bruce Cameron’s best-seller, the film boasts a cast that includes Dennis Quaid, Britt Robertson, K.J. Apa, Juliet Rylance and Peggy Lipton in the story of a devoted pooch that is reincarnated various times, helps a number of different owners (think The Littlest Hobo, but across the plain of existence, not just the wilds of Canada), always with the driving aim of reuniting with his original human friend.
This is one that, like Cameron’s 2010 tear-targeting tome, hops across several lives for the dog as he inhabits different canines. Robertson and Quaid are part of the same timeline, but with her playing a young woman who falls for a quarterback and he as the football player later in life. Unlike his Guardians duty, however, Cooper will not be cracking wise in dialogue with the rest of the cast, but instead providing the inner monologue for the dog. Hallstrom is cranking the cameras now in Winnipeg, Canada, though Cooper will only have to show up to a voice recording studio to add his part.
Cooper will next be seen in culinary comedy drama Burnt (out November 6) and has a relatively small role in David O. Russell’s next film, Joy, which lands on January 1.
