Robin Williams Will Be Mrs Doubtfire 2.

Hard to believe really, a film made more than 20 years ago which made a fortune at the box office, ($441m), is only now being granted a sequel.

According to various different movie websites Robin Williams has signed on to reprise his role as Mrs Doubtfire. Although the plot is as yet unknown, I think it’s safe to assume that some sort of hilarious cross-dressing and comedy farce misunderstandings may feature in the sequel.

It’s also been rumoured that Chris Columbus, who directed the original movie back in 1993, will return to take directorial duties armed with a script penned by David Berenbaum, who wrote Elf and The Haunted Mansion.

No word on the return of actress Sally Field or Pierce Brosnan who both co-starred in the original, but what is definite is that Mara Wilson and Lisa Jakub, the two girls who played the daughters in the film, won’t be returning as explained in this piece from Film Drunk.
