At work, sometimes we’ll sit around and kick around ideas for movies that need sequels. Like a sequel to Dave<\/i><\/a>, the Kevin Kline film about a man, Dave Kovic, who fills in for the President of the United States. <\/p>\n

Well, last week, a brainwave struck me. We need a sequel to Three Men and a Baby<\/i> and Three Men and a Little Lady<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I thought of it in these terms.<\/p>\n

So it’s been about twenty years since Three Men and a Little Lady<\/i>.<\/p>\n

And I realized. Make a movie about Mary, the “Baby” and “Little Lady” of the first two films, going off to college.<\/p>\n

What’s Steve Gutenberg doing? What’s Ted Danson doing? What’s Tom Selleck doing? What’s Nancy Travis doing? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. And nothing.<\/p>\n

So, why not<\/i> a sequel? Everyone’s older. Mary’s going to be a young adult now.<\/p>\n

Of course, I couldn’t remember the first two movies that well. “Waiting for a Star to Fall,” from the soundtrack to the second film, yeah. The movies themselves? Not so much. So I couldn’t remember how old Mary was or anything like that. And a quick perusal of Wikipedia tells me that Mary was five in 1990’s Little Lady<\/i>, so she’d be about twenty-five now. Which means that my first instinct — “Three Men and a Freshman” — probably wouldn’t work.<\/p>\n

It turns out, Disney is already thinking about a Three Men<\/i> sequel<\/a>. According to Steve Gutenberg, it’s going to be called Three Men and a Bride<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It’s like they reached into my head and pulled out a concept I didn’t even know I’d had. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

ETA:<\/b> Actually, it turns out I did<\/i> have this idea. Back in early 2008. See here<\/a>. Why I pulled it out at work the other day, thinking it was a new idea, I don’t know. :shrug:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A sequel to Three Men and a Baby?!? Well, I’d been thinking about one myself, and it turns out there’s one actually in the works…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-film","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2558\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.allyngibson.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
