'Mrs. Doubtfire' Lands a Sequel

I think this makes it official - Hollywood will only deal in sequels now.

Though, I admit it, it's hard to be annoyed at this piece of news: 1993's "Mrs. Doubtfire" will be joining the list of films with a follow-up. Fox 2000, with original actor Robin Williams and director Chris Colombus set to return.

No word yet on which other originals may be making appearances, but consider youngest daughter Natalie, played by Mara Wilson, out. When the news of the sequel broke she took to her Twitter and Facebook accounts to make it clear she would not be returning.

"For the record, no, I do not have anything to do with the Mrs. Doubtfire sequel, nor will I," she said. "I've been in some mediocre movies, but I've never been in a sequel. And I have no interest in being in one now. Sequels generally suck unless they were planned as part of a trilogy or series. I think Doubtfire ended where it needed to end."

At least one of Doubtfire's charges is supportive of the project. Matthew Lawrence, who played son Chris, expressed an interest in reprising his role to TMZ. "Of course I would be on board. I hope they make the second as good as the first. The first was so good... It will be great to get the family back together."

David Berenbaum, who penned the Christmas hit "Elf," will be penning the script.

A sequel has been in the works since 2001, but never officially got off the ground. When released, the film made over $400 million, and garnered Williams a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy. "Doubtfire" also won Best Musical/Comedy.

For those who haven't seen it, the comedy centers around... no, no. Just pick it up and watch it. Do yourself a favor.
