Everything else from the 80s is getting a second chance, so why not Ted Danson, Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg? A couple of months ago The Gutt said that Disney was developing Three Men and a Bride, and it wasn’t really clear if this was a true thing or wishful thinking on the part of a guy who used to be really famous and is now a punchline.
Turns out it’s real. MTV talked to Tom Selleck and he back up The Gutt’s claims.
“It is true that Disney checked my availability,” he said. “And I know they checked Ted’s and Steve’s, and then had a script written, I think tentatively called ‘Three Men and a Bride,’ which kind of says it all [about the story].”
“I hope it’s a good script, and if it is a good script I hope they do it, because it would be really fun to get back with Ted and Steve,” he said. “The strongest of the two movies I think is the first one. It had more heart, and that’s what I hope this third one would have if we do it.”
Since the baby from the first film would now be a grown woman in her early 20s, who could play the part? And wouldn’t it be kind of amazing if one of the storylines had the Ted Danson going all Woody Allen on her? I would be there opening day to enjoy such uncomfortable psychosexuality. Someone call Todd Solondz stat!!!
BTW, here’s my pitch: play into the old urban legends about there being a ghost in the first movie and have the young woman die and come back as a spirit. Three Men and a Phantom just sells itself.

Did anyone enjoy the first one? I enjoy each actor, individually and for different reasons, but put them all back together 20 years later? Nah….
Hey, the first one had Nimoy magic.
We're going to get bland, unoriginal family comedies anyway. It's the one genre where I not only think retreads wouldn't hurt, I think they'd produce more interesting product. I'm 100% more likely to see this or Weekend at Bernie's 3 than a Kevin James movie.
Megan Fox's chance to shine!
Three Men and a Bride sounds like a movie my mom (in her 60's) would think is "cute."
Three Men and a Phantom: I would see that opening day, no hesitation!!
I love Ted Danson…that said the only way this movie could be interesting is if they did what Devin suggested. 🙂
How dare you. The Gutt was awesome in that episode of Party Down. His career is back full force fucktards.
Was it really necessary to check Steve Guttenberg's availability?
Do you think anyone actually checked Guttenbergs availability? Or do you think they just said "What? Like he's going to turn it down? C'mon."
Steve Guttenberg was pretty funny on "Party Down" the other week. I like almost anyone that's not afraid to poke fun at themselves.
More importantly, Zach Galifianakis as the unlikely groom! It'd be great if the daughter grew up to be not much of a looker.
Is it sad that I'm actually kinda excited for this?…
Is is?…
Oh…
Well, fuck off.
Interestingly, the original French movie also had a late sequel called '20 years later', with two of the three original actors kind of needing the job. It wasn't a flop, but didn't match 10% of the success of the first movie…
I'm sorry but 'Three Men and a Bride' sounds like a kind of film you'd find buried up behind the clothing in your dads closet when you were 12 years old…
I don't care so much for Danson, but Magnum and the ace from Police Academy are welcome on my TV screen anytime. I just wished I could enjoy family comedies enough to turn up the volume.
Who cares if Nimoy isn't directing.
"Someone call Todd Solondz stat!!!" ROFL!!!!
Considering Ted Danson was the child's biological father then that would be an even cooler movie!
On the other hand, I kind of hate myself for knowing this.
And ease off the hate of Steve Guttenberg- he was pretty fucking malevolent in Veronica Mars a few years back.
Congrats on your vacation from cynicism. Do you really not like Danson? Have you not been watching Bored to Death?
