Jeff Bushell has sold his spec script Bad Dog to Lionsgate, The Wrap reports today, a feature that tells the story of Satan’s favorite hound, Bub, booted out of hell by a jealous rival.
After Bub is kicked out of Hell, he’s adopted by a single dad and his two kids. Despite his bad ways, Bub soon begins to embrace his goodness and falls in love with the family.
When Satan wants his dog back and Bub refuses, he must protect his new family from the fury of hell.
Eugenio Derbez will produce alongside Ben Odell for 3Pas Entertainment and Point Grey.
