It looks like 20th Century Fox is going to go ahead and make a sequel to last year's minor family hit Garfield and they've just hired a director in Tim Hill.
Hill's directing credits include Disney's Max Keebel's Big Move and the Jim Henson classic Muppets in Space as well as being a writer on the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
Garfield 2 is currently scheduled to open July 28, 2006.
