Meanwhile, Mrs. Doubtfire 2 is not the only film to be reinvigorated several years after its release. Ghostbusters 3 is reportedly also in the works, despite the original film having first hit the theaters in 1984. Moreover, Beetlejuice 2 is also rumored to be in the works, but a sequel for 1994's Dumb and Dumber has been confirmed by both of its stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Filming is already underway for Dumb and Dumber 2, and the comedy is expected in theaters sometime later this year.
"We're having so much fun, it's like, more fun than it was before," Carrey said of filming the sequel, according to On The Red Carpet. "We're just having a blast getting back into the stuff and it just feels so good to have a character that only wears one thing all the time. Makes things real easy. It's great."
