Betty White gets to play God
Movie producer Jerry Weinstraub (The Karate Kid, Ocean’s Eleven) has approached Warner Bros with an idea of how to remake the George Burns comedy “Oh, God!” His idea is to hire Betty White in the lead and Paul Rudd as the hapless mortal, played by John Denver in the original.
Weintraub, who produced the 1977 film, has been trying to remake the movie for years, most recently with Ellen DeGeneres attached for the lead. It’s possible that casting White may push the project forward. A script, however, has yet to be written.
In the original film, God (Burns) appears to an assistant grocery manager (Denver) as a good natured old man with plans of using him as his messenger for the modern world.
