Forgoing the obvious, Disney scrapped the Three Men and a Randy Old Cougar spec script and decided that Three Men and a Bride would not only make a better family film, but they could always go the "Randy Old Cougar" route if the new sequel is successful.
This good news couldn't come at a better time for Steven Guttenberg. The 51 year old former Movie Star/Viagra Candidate's contract with Satan the Devil expires in early 2011. After which he'll be on his own trying to score work, drugs, women, fresh fruit and vegetables...
The thing is.... This really isn't that bad of an idea. In fact I don't know of a more worthy family film series to revisit. Nobody wants another Beethoven film. And Jim Varney's dead so an Ernest revival is physically/emotionally/spiritually impossible. No, a Three Men movie sounds like Holiday 2010 Film season gold. In fact I can't see how this movie sequel could fail at the box-office...
Unless of course Disney hires a crash writing team, (maybe the same useless keyboard jockeys that ABC employed to frak up the new V series rehash... GAWDAWFUL) to save some extra coin and is banking the film's success entirely on Selleck, Danson, and Guttenberg's faces on the poster...
Nah, they'll get a good writer. Expect this movie to be set 19 years, literally, after the last movie, with the three handsome Fathers of the Bride dealing with old age, loneliness, home forclosures, Al Qaeda assassins, reality TV addiction and wedding finances.... Can't wait to see this one.
No word yet if Leonard Nimoy will return to direct this sequel to his original hit 80's film.
