Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is an upcoming film based on the ninth book in the reading series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul. Filming for the movie will begin in September. [1] The film will be based on the books, The Long Haul and Old School. [2] Because the last film was released in 2012, and because the original actors have become too old for their characters, it was largely believed that there would be no more films in the series. This changed when Jeff Kinney announced on Twitter that they were "gearing up" to make a movie for The Long Haul and that they first need a Greg and a Rowley. [3] In the tweet, he shared a link to the website for the online casting call [4] and during the Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down's virtually live event (where the 11th book, Double Down book cover, color and title were revealed) Jeff Kinney hinted at this movie.

Trivia

  • This will be the first film with an entirely new cast. This is confirmed because all the confirmed cast members have not been in any other Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies.
  • The short script shared for auditioners feature lines from both Hard Luck and The Long Haul.
  • Rowley will have a larger role in the film than in the book, in which he only appears in one flashback illustration.
