More Guttenberg

In my capacity as your #1 source for Steve Guttenberg movie news, I am obligated to inform you that, 19 years after Mr. Guttenberg and his buddies Tom Selleck and Ted Danson delighted us with Three Men and a Little Lady, the sequel to their smash hit Three Men and a Baby, Disney is at last fulfilling our wishes by developing a third Three Men and a... film.

At least according to Steve Guttenberg.

"That's going to be a smash. A smash hit," Guttenberg said of the as-yet-unnamed film. "They're bringing everybody back for that. Nobody knows about it. I'm the first to talk about it."

Now, I'm sure there are those who think reviving this particular franchise is an absurd idea, but these people are wrong. These people do not realize that, right now, there is nothing bigger than '80s nostalgia. From Michael Jackson to Rambo to Mad Max, it's all about digging up '80s icons, dusting them off and squeezing out every dime you can before the '80s sentimentalists die of swine flu or become too senile to remember how much they loved Dolph Lundgren when they were 25 and too drunk to know better.

The Disney people may be crass and exploitative, but they are not stupid. They know a good property when they see one. They know people are yearning for a return to a more innocent time, a time when the names Guttenberg, Selleck and Danson meant box-office gold. And, since the girl in Three Men and a Little Lady would be roughly in her mid-twenties right now, they have a ready-made property for Ashley Tisdale (who, despite being in all those High School Musical movies, is actually 24).

This is not only a good idea, it is a great idea. It is a movie that has to be made. It is exactly the thing Steve Guttenberg needs, so he can finally get his stuff out of hock.
