Does anyone know the latest on Mrs. Doubtfire 2?

Answer 1

Mrs Doubtfire 2 was due to be a sequel to the 1993 box office hit. Writing began in 2005 by Bonnie Hunt (Cheaper by the Dozen, Cars). Robin Williams was set to return in disguise as an old nanny like in the first movie. Due to problems with the script, re-writing began in mid-2006 as Robin Williams was allegedly unhappy with the plot. The film was expected to be released in late 2007 but following further script problems the sequel was declared "scrapped" in mid-2006.

Recently in an interview for Newsday Robin Williams said the movie's sequel was indefinitely scrapped. Stating his reasons, he said, "The script they had just didn't work." [1]

Apparently the script involved Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire moving close to his daughter's college so he can keep an eye on her.

On December 5, 2006 during an interview with BBC Radio 1 by DJ Edith Bowman, Williams said that if it's not going to be done right, then it's not worth doing and that there won't be a sequel with him in it. However the character might return in some form some day in the future. The interview doesn't seem to have been recorded but was posted online almost immediately. [2]

The film was classed as "stalled" for a brief period but now seems that the project will not occur and has even been removed from the IMDb website
