The A-Team, The Karate Kid, Toy Story 3, Red Dawn, Sex and the City 2, Shrek 4, Step Up 3D. Yes, we have reached the saturation point for sequels and "re-imaginings", but two movies were announced this week that could cause riots at your local cineplex. Are you ready for Three Men and a Bride? Didn't throw up a bit in your mouth after reading that one? Try Brett Ratner's Snow White!!!!!!!!
I don't know which one shocked me more, but both seem to be making their way to your favorite movie theater.
Three Men and a Bride
Tom Selleck revealed the plans to MTV this week, and it sounds like this one is very far down the development road. According to Selleck, a script is written and the studio has checked on his schedule as well as the schedule of his two co-stars, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg (I KNOW!!!! I thought Guttenberg was dead, too).
Who will play the Bride? Former child actor Robin Weisman, who played Mary in the sequel, Three Men and a Little Lady, left the business in 1994, and lives in Florida, where she works in promotions. She's probably out, and won't even get invited to the premiere (I doubt she would even get some free tickets for her and her family).
Of course, that leaves the typical list of women who get considered for these roles - Amanda Seyfried, Miley Cyrus, some Victoria's Secret models and Aly Michalka, Vanessa Hudgens, Camilla Belle and more. However, I dare Disney to go for it with a name no one would consider, but someone who needs the publicity and image improvement.
Megan Fox.
I know it sounds crazy now, but this could be a chance for Fox to show some comedic ability, work within an ensemble to take the pressure off of her to deliver box office bucks, and add a little bit of edge to what could become a very schmaltzy movie.
Brett Ratner's Snow White
When you heard about Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, you were amazed and enchanted by the possibilities. When you hear about Brett Ratner's Snow White, you wonder how he will get Snow White into a bikini ... or less (while blowing something up!).
Ratner thinks he can re-imagine the traditional tale by making a version closer to the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale, which means it will be scarier and nastier. Also, he claims this one will have a dragon. A freaking dragon. I don't know if we are ready for that one.
Who gets to be Snow White? Megan Fox? Amanda Seyfried? Emma Roberts? Mila Kunis? Emma Stone? Anne Hathaway? Kristen Stewart? Dakota Fanning? Saoirse Ronan?
