Chevy Chase comedy Oh! Heavenly Dog set for a remake

September 3, 2015 by Gary Collinson

20th Century Fox has announced that it is set to remake the Chevy Chase comedy Oh! Heavenly Dog, with Tim Hill signing on to direct as well as co-writing the script with Dave Johnson.

Released in 1980, Oh! Heavenly Dog starred Chase as a private investigator who is killed after discovering a dead body. Seeing as the afterlife is yet to decide whether he’s destined for Heaven or Hell, he’s given a shot at redemption by returning to Earth as a dog in order to crack the case and solve his own murder.

Hill’s previous credits include Muppets from Space, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Hop, while he was also announced as director on another 80s remake Short Circuit back in 2011, although that project seems to be stuck in development hell.
