Realising that the headline has a dubious double meaning let me clear this up quickly. The Thee Men and a Baby series has been teetering on the brink of a remake or a revisiting for sometime, nostalgia and time doing just enough to ensure that the idea of another of a Three Men and A… movie (or 3♂&A as it will probably be called) won’t cause potential audiences to throw their hands up in horrified bemusement, and this new piece of news is not an update on the Guttenberg/Selleck/Danson reunion we were promised but another, far worse prospect on offer.

Movieweb are the brave souls to bring us the news that Walt Disney are keen to plough funds into an Adam Sandler produced remake of the film with Rob Schneider , Chris Rock and David Spade as three gay men who find a baby on their doorstep but somehow the Mafia are involved somehow, who knows? The point is that after Grown Ups is there anyone who thinks this is a good idea? Sandler’s recent Jack and Jill trailer made us pine for the glory days of The Wedding Singer and though it’s supposed that Sandler will not actually star in the film, the threat of a cameo is always there.

In fact, why not throw in another 80s remake and combine this film with Look Who’s Talking with Sandler as the baby who finds three gay men just hi-larious. Guttenberg can cameo as a Vegas junkie.

The one bright ray of sunshine is that Movieweb only understand this is a potential project and no-one has commented officially which means we can file this one straight in the Bin of Bad Ideas (hopefully) never to be seen again.

Whatever they call the final film it’s bound to be better than mine…

But hopefully you’ll gather from the title that the 80s has spat out another sequel as the dark forces of Steve Guttenberg, Tom Selleck and Ted Danson converge once again for another Three Men and a… film.

It’s been twenty long years since we last saw Messrs Guttenberg, Selleck and Danson as the lovable commitment phobic men and their Little Lady, itself a sequel to the zeitgeist riding Three Men and a Baby, and though they are usually forgotten in the tidal wave of nostalgia they are pretty sweet, well written films. And I’m all for a revisiting instead of a remake, particularly as we’ve not seen the three amigos for quite some time and they did have a certain chemistry that could make for a watchable sequel.

Not much else is known, except that the working title is Three Men and a Bride leaving the nature of the script unambiguous, and Hollywood.com have a little interview with Steve Guttenberg (who in the accompanying picture looks like a proud chipmunk after consuming a barrel of brazil nuts) who touches on a few of his other franchises he’d like to see resurrected to maul a new audience.

Personally I’d like to see Three Men and a Wasted Life, or Three Men and a Loaded Gun, or maybe Two Men and a Funeral – Richard Curtis could write that one and have Hugh Grant as a funny vicar. Hollywood Gold.
