Show Dogs comes from director Raja Gosnell whose credits include The Smurfs films and Big Momma’s House. Gosnell is also part of the executive producing team; Philip von Alvensleben produces.
The film centres on Max, a Rottweiler that has to go undercover as a show dog; the screenplay is by Max Botkin,
Show Dogs will begin filming with a 9-week stint in the UK, before moving on to Las Vegas early next year. Although the big-budget movie Jason Bourne filmed a key car-chase sequence in the city earlier this year, Las Vegas has generally struggled to attract film projects due to the lack of a competitive tax incentive.
Conversely, the UK’s studios are currently bulging with international film projects as the attractive tax credits for films and high-end TV dramas continue to sustain inward investment.
Among the many features setting up for UK shoots are Mary Poppins Returns; the untitled Jurassic World sequel; Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express; The Nutcracker and the Four Realms; Cruella; Dungeons & Dragons and The Flash.
