I guess there’s a large contingency that’s been begging to see Robin Williams in a dress and old-age makeup once again. At least this time they won’t need the makeup as THR reports Williams has signed on to star in Mrs. Doubtfire 2 with director Chris Columbus attached to return to direct and David Berenbaum (Elf) writing the script.
Columbus directed the original back in 1993, which ended up grossing over $441 million worldwide, but that was 21 years ago and since then we’ve already had Martin Lawrence dressing up in three Big Momma’s House movies, do we really need to see Williams do it all again?
THR reminds us Bonnie Hunt was attached to write a script for the sequel back in 2001 and obviously that didn’t come together so that could very well end up being the situation once again, but the attachment of Williams to the project would seem to suggest movement this time around is a little further ahead. No word on what the story would be.
