Fox has signed director Tom Dey to turn comic strip Marmaduke into a feature film, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The Brad Anderson-created character, a Great Dane who belongs to the Winslow family, first appeared in newspapers in 1954. Marmaduke has also featured in animated series Heathcliff and Garfield And Friends.
Fox has not yet decided if the movie will be live-action or computer animated.
Marmaduke is one of several animal-based projects the studio is developing: Tim Hill will direct Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, while We Bought A Zoo and Walter The Farting Dog are also on Fox's slate.
Fox will release Jennifer Aniston's Marley And Me, about a family who adopt a hyperactive Labrador, in the UK on March 11.
