Robin Williams Drops Mrs. Doubtfire 2?

Wow, this one seemed to have come out of nowhere -- our friend Richard over at Filmstalker reports that Robin Williams just told Edith Bowen from BBC's Radio 1 that he will not be starring in a Mrs. Doubtfire 2. Say what now? But I thought he was already attached -- heck, we all assumed the sequel would be coming out sometime next year. I mean, last we heard from Williams on the subject, he was even talking up a Mrs. Doubtfire 3, claiming there were "plenty of adventures left for her." What in the world happened?
According to Filmstalker, Williams said something along the lines of "if it's not done right, it's not worth doing." But in the same interview, he also noted that the character would come back one day, just not now and not in this form. Well, that's a bummer. Not only for us, but for 20th Century Fox -- the first film grossed a whopping $440 million worldwide -- and so I imagine some peeps were really looking forward to a huge payday from the sequel. Based on Williams' comments, it appears as if Bonnie Hunt's script was not up to par -- perhaps she was going in a direction that Williams didn't feel comfortable with. Regardless, I'm sure a lot of you are upset about this news? Me? I don't care much for Bonnie Hunt or her writing -- yeah, Life with Bonnie wasn't exactly at the top of my "Must Watch TV" list. So maybe this is a good thing. Or bad. You tell me ...

New On DVD - Bloodrayne, Cheaper By The Dozen 2, Transamerica
Filed under: New Releases », DVD Reviews », New on DVD », Home Entertainment », Columns »
• Bloodrayne - Teutonic terror Uwe Boll directs movies no more than gravity directs objects to Earth. His grasp of pithy things like story and character development is nearly non-existent, and his penchant for adapting video games has earned him a reputation as a sort of idiot savant (only without the savant part), kind of like if the kid on the porch in Deliverance only knew how to play the riff that Vanilla Ice nicked from Queen's "Under Pressure". His latest, a shameless Blade ripoff about a half-human, half-vampire avenger (Kristianna Loken), is miscast, barely written and staged with the skill of a spastic with cataracts. Currently residing on the IMDB's Bottom 100 (at #34), it and Boll's rotting body of work have elevated the oeuvre of Ed Wood, whose non-charting Plan 9 From Outer Space was once considered the worst film ever made, to common hack status. At least the inclusion of the free PC version of the Bloodrayne 2 video game will help soothe buyer remorse.
