Another dog movie: 'Dog on It' coming to big screen

Animal lovers rejoice! You have another dog movie heading your way.

Universal Pictures has acquired the big-screen rights to Spencer Quinn's novel "Dog on It: A Chet and Bernie Mystery."

Variety reports Jeff Lowell will write the screenplay, about an investigator and his dog trying to find a missing person.

If the dog in the movie is not enough, get ready for this: "Dog on It" will actually be told from the animal's point of view.

Lowell, whose writing credits include "John Tucker Must Die" and the awful "Over Her Dead Body," also recently wrote "Hotel for Dogs," a movie that didn't really amuse me that much.

Other recent big-screen dog flicks include "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and "Marley & Me." I say it's time for a break, no?

Paramount, Nickelodeon pack for safari movie

Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Films are gearing up to develop a safari family adventure based on an idea by Jeff Lowell and Matt Lopez.

According to Variety, the plot follows a family that encounters dangerous wild animals and a bunch of ruthless bad guys on a safari trip in Africa.

Lowell, whose credits include the terrible “Over Her Dead Body” and the upcoming “Hotel for Dogs,” is writing the script.

As for Lopez, he recently penned the scripts for “Bedtime Stories” and “Race to Witch Mountain.”

Final word: Another safari family flick from Paramoiunt and Nickelodeon? Sounds like a live-action version of “The Wild Thornberrys Movie.” Me not like this idea.
