Oh, God! It's Betty!
Mon, July 12, 2010 
There are only a few films I'd honestly react negatively to hear someone was remaking. This is not one of them – despite the original film being good and still enjoyable to this day.
"TOLDJA!" says an update of Carl Reiner's Oh, God! has been pitched to Warner Brothers.
The original 1977 comedy starred John Denver as a supermarket manager summoned by God himself (played by George Burns) to act as a then-modernized Moses. It was a nice li'l comedy that wound up being one of that year’s biggest hits and inadvertently spawned a franchise.
Word is Betty White would be the God of choice were the studio to give the thumbs up. Granted there's yet to be an acceptable script and this iteration is just starting up.
But would audiences show up in droves to see White act as Jehovah to Paul Rudd (pitched as the other lead)? Probably, people never stopped loving that woman and she's had a career resurgence as of late.
