TheThree Men and a Baby remakeis officially happening at Disney+ in 2022. Zac Efron is attached to star. Not too many details are available, but it is believed that the reboot will be a modern take on the 1987 comedy, which starred Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson as three bachelors who suddenly have to take care of a baby. No other cast members have been announced, but that information will likely be available in the coming months.
No director for theThree Men & A Babyreboot has been announced either. However, withsigns pointing to a modern remake, one can assume that there will be some large differences from the 1987 original. As to what those changes will be, that is unclear at the moment, but one can assume that a baby will be involved, along with three friends that are forced to take care of it. The original movie had a premise based on men not being able to take care of an infant without a woman.
A lot has changed since 1987, which means that theThree Men & A Babyreboot will challenge some of the norms from the original movie, which will likely have to do with current views on men and fatherhood. This has not been confirmed, as Disney only announced that the reboot was officially on the way during their Investors Day presentation. Regardless, theDisney+reboot will probably have a lot of eyes on it, thanks to the casting ofZac Efronalone.
Three Men & A Babywas released in 1987 and is based off of the 1985 French movieTrois hommes et un couffin(Three Men and a Cradle). There was not a whole lot of expectations on the comedy when it was released, but it ended up becoming a surprise box office success upon its release.Three Men & A Babywas the biggest domestic box office hit of 1987, going on to surpassFatal Attractionand eventually grossing $167 million in the United States and Canada, while taking in $240 million worldwide. The movie even won the 1988 People’s Choice Award for Favorite Comedy Motion Picture.
The box office success ofThree Men & A Babyguaranteed that a sequel was going to be made.Three Men and a Little Ladycame out in 1990 and reunited Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson. Critics did not give the sequel favorable reviews and it made considerably less at the box office than its predecessor. Despite the lackluster box office performance,Disneyannounced in 2010 that they were developingThree Men & A Bride, but nothing ever came out of it.
