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.

Lionsgate  have been kind enough to give three of our readers the chance to win Killers on DVD.

KILLERS is a hilarious, unpredictable action comedy about love, marriage and serious firepower with a stellar cast including Ashton Kutcher (Valentine’s Day, Just Married), Katherine Heigl (27 Dresses, Knocked Up), Tom Selleck and Catherine O’Hara. Directed by Robert Luketic (21, The Ugly Truth, Legally Blonde), KILLERS unites two of Hollywood’s hottest stars in this all-action firecracker of a film.

Synopsis: Spencer Aimes (Ashton Kutcher) is just your average, undercover, government-hired super assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women. But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt (Katherine Heigl), a beautiful, fun loving computer tech recovering from a bad break up, he finds true love…and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss.

Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage – that is, until the morning after Spencer’s 30^th birthday. That’s when Spencer and Jen learn he’s the target of a multi-million dollar hit. Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: Friends, neighbours, the grocery clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling along the street. Now Spencer and Jen are on the run for their lives. As their suburban paradise turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, they must find out who wants Spencer dead and why, all the while trying to save their marriage, manage his pain-in-the-ass-in-laws, keep up neighbourly appearances…and just plain survive. And you thought suburban life was easy.

Ashton Kutcher’s new movie Killers had it’s world premiere where Lionsgate decided not only to stream the red carpet live, they also showed an internet only exclusive showing the first 13 minutes of the movie. Killers also stars Kathrine Heigl, Catherine O’Hara, Tom Selleck and is directed by Robert Luketic.

Seems a bit odd to me but I guess we’re going to see more of thing sort of thing. I know Tom Cruise’ Valkyrie and Russell Brand’s Get Him to the Greek and Boondock Saints 2 have all released the first five minutes of the movie but this is the first time that nearly 15 minutes of a movie has been released to my knowledge.

The footage stars around the 11 minute mark and I’ve embedded it below.

Thanks to Live for Films for the tip.

News has surfaced that a second sequel to the Leonard Nimoy directed, 1987 movie, 3 Men and a Baby and the 1990 movie 3 Men and a Little Lady, directed by Emile Ardolino is still in development and moving forward. It’s apparently got the working title ’3 Men and a Bride’ which pretty much does what it says on the tin.

I’ve seen both these two movies dozens of times as me and my sister used to love them. All grown up now, we still quote from the movie, especially the bed time rap from the second movie! “Now close them eyes and catch some Zzzzz’s!”

Tom Selleck is currently on the interview circuit for his new movie Killers and spoke to MTV about the possible sequel saying:

“It is true that Disney checked my availability and I know they checked Ted’s and Steve’s, and then had a script written, I think tentatively called ‘Three Men and a Bride,’ which kind of says it all. I hope it’s a good script, and if it is a good script I hope they do it, because it would be really fun to get back with Ted and Steve.

The strongest of the two movies I think is the first one. It had more heart, and that’s what I hope this third one would have if we do it.”

The interview itself has been recorded by MTV and I’ve embedded it below.

The chaps over at Lionsgate UK have just provided us with a new interational trailer for a movie called Killers which stars Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl and Tom Selleck.

The movie is released 16th June and is directed by Robert Luketic. I’ve placed the new trailer and images below the synopsis.

Lionsgate have just bought out their new trailer for Killers over on Yahoo (and embedded below), a new movie starring Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Tom Selleck, Catherine O’Hara and Martin Mull. The plot focuses on Jen Kornfeldt (Hiegl) meets the man of her dreams (Kutcher) to find out later that he’s secretly a trained killer. The trailer looks quite amusing but the issue I have with this is haven’t we now seen this movie quite a few times before? Off the top of my head I’m thinking of True Lies and Mr. and Mrs Smith and I’m sure there are many more out there.

Killers is directed by Robert Luketic and is out summer this year.

Maybe I’m just looking for holes? What do you guys think?

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.
