"Elf" writer David Berenbaum is writing the script while director Chris Columbus and Robin Williams are attached to the comedy.

Quote:
The studio is developing a sequel to the 1993 hit Mrs. Doubtfire, one that would reunite director Chris Columbus and star Robin Williams.

David Berenbaum, who wrote Elf, is writing the script.

Doubtfire starred Williams as a struggling actor and recently divorced father of three who, in order to be closer to his children, takes on the persona of a Scottish nanny, Eupheginia Doubtfire.
Hilarity, misunderstandings and family love ensued to the tune of $219 million domestically and $222 million internationally. Williams won a Golden Globe in the best actor in a musical/comedy category while the movie won best picture.
A sequel has been in the works since 2001 when Bonnie Hunt was tapped to write a script but despite many drafts and other scribes hired, the project slowly died and has been inactive for years, mainly due to Columbus and Williams not sparking to any take.
The project became active again early this year with Berenbaum’s involvement and while it’s too soon to say how things will turn out, Williams and Columbus are attached and hopeful.
Elizabeth Gabler and Marisa Paiva are overseeing for Fox 2000.

In addition to writing Elf, the Will Ferrell Christmas comedy that is now a perennial classic, Berenbaum has also worked on family films such as Haunted Mansion and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
Columbus is in pre-production on his latest movie, Pixels, the sci-fi adventure movie that will star Adam Sandler and is to shoot in Toronto this summer.
Williams has Lionsgate’s drama The Angriest Man in Brooklyn opening May 23 and is the star of CBS’ The Crazy Ones.
Columbus, Williams and Berenbaum are repped by WME.
Columbus is additionally repped by Hansen Jacobson, by MBST Entertainment, and Berenbaum by Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment and Rosen Feig.

This is such a good 90's movie and a lot of goodwill from it.

But then came Nutty Professor 1, 2, Big Momma's House 1 and 2, and Tyler Perry.

Will be lucky to get 1/4 of the original but could do well opening over Christmas.

Not really, he's been in 8 films and a TV series in the last year, I would be surprised if he cleared 50 million in he last fiscal year.

I'd watch it. Could be interesting.

Not sure about that. Seems like he only did TV to pay for his divorce.

Who is the possible audience for this 20+ years later? If you've got to go back to the well, wouldn't a remake seem a lot more sensible? Crazy.

Guys you can stop predicting box office results for a movie that will never, ever happen

But will Pierce Brosnan, Harvey Fierstein, and Matthew Lawrence return?

A remake would be less embarrassing I think.

It will probably be something horrible where Wililams has to help his son become Ms. Doubtfire (younger, hipper, single) to see his own kids after a divorce.

I think that's inevitable with any plot for an 18+ year too late sequel to a movie starring an old man who hasn't had a hit in a decade.

I think after Dumb and Dumber 2 succeeds, this will get pushed forward. that is one 20 + year sequel comedy that I think will overperform and start a trend of lots of old comedy sequels.

I think it could be rather interesting if it's played more about the inner workings of his Day Time kids show. I mean a man dressed as a woman in a hit show is just a bizarre idea in general. Obviously with a hit show like that he can't get away with pretending to be Mrs. Doubtfire anymore, so a rehash should be off the table right away

This should have happened like 10 years ago at least, still, I'm excited!

This was needed in 1998, not now.

The Mrs. Doubtfire house is up for sale. Anyone got a spare $4.5 million?
