With a stellar cast lead by Tom Sellick, Ted Dansen, and Steve Guttenberg, Three Men and a Baby released in 1987 and was a massive hit for Disney, bringing in $167 million at the box office. Needless to say that was a damn good haul back then.
Fast forward to today and Disney is again reminding us that cash is king ($30 for Mulan?!) and has decided that they will remake the film as an exclusive to their Disney+ streaming service. So far they have locked in Zac Efron to play a lead role in the remake but that is as far as they have gotten.
How do you feel about this remake? Personally, I am fine with it as long as they cast it properly and get a decent director on board (Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy directed the original), and I think Efron is a good place to start. He has proven himself as a quality comedic actor in recent films like the Baywatch remake, Neighbors alongside Seth Rogen, and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. We will keep you posted on any additional news as it becomes available.
In the meantime, check out a pretty funny clip from the original.
