Post John Hamburg talks I Love You, Man 2 and Meet the Fockers!
""I'm currently writing Little Fockers, which is the third in the Meet the Parents franchise" he explained. "We're coming up with the story as we speak. Larry Stuckey wrote the original script, and I'm doing my version of it.

"We're catching up with these characters five years later and Pam and Greg have twins so they are dealing with that. And people are dealing with where there at in their lives, and themes of death and divorce and all these real things that as we get older, we start to think about, but in a really comic way."

Hamburg added that Owen Wilson will have a much bigger role in the threequel, which is great news as his too-good-to-be-true character Kevin Rawley was a comedic highlight from the first two movies.

We also asked about the potential for a sequel to Hamburg's recent comedy hit I Love You, Man, with the director sounding optimistic. "I do love these characters, so somewhere down the line perhaps. We've batted around a few ideas, but it's way too early. "

Hmmm, is there any need for I Love You, Man 2?

As the trend of sequels to successful comedies goes, do not be surprised if they now announced a fucking Paul Blart quadrilogy!

Really how can you have a second I Love You Man film? You can milk some premises but this one doesnt seem to lend itself to that.

It's funny if people are going to start saying ILYM2 doesn't make sense because there's nowhere to take the story because one of the biggest complaints about the first is that there basically was no story.

I Love You, Man ran mostly on characters. So, if you're gonna make a sequel, it's also going to run mostly on characters. Give it a spin, go have fun.

I'm skeptical just because ILYM was pretty darn good and I don't want them to fuck it up especially because Paul Rudd's name is on it - more so it was Paul Rudd's real leading break out. If the second one sucks, it will be a step back for him.

I just don't see how Little Fockers could ever be better than the near flawless Meet The Fockers.. There is such a thing as beating a dead horse with comedy sequels..

super excited about the next Fockers movie, even though I wish Roach was still in charge, and no point in / interest for another I Love You Man.
