Exhale: Big Momma’s House 3 Still Happening

Let the fanboy email inquiries cease: The latest “momma of all comedies” is plopped for a 2009 release. Over the weekend, IESB spoke to producer, David T. Friendly, who confirmed that the second sequel in the hit Martin Lawrence undercover fat-suit franchise, Big Momma’s House 3, is currently in the scripting stage and on the fast track/conveyor belt after originally being due this year.

No word if Paul Giamatti will reprise his role from the first film. Ever. Combined, the first two entries grossed $190 million domestically.

Discuss: Possible (permanent) endings for the sequel and franchise.

  • Fat suits. Farting. Times three!
  • Captain Awesome
    I'm noticing a trend with black comedians and dressing up as fat women.
  • Pentarix
    Who pays to watch this shit? Please punch them in the face.

    In a nod to method acting greats like Deniro and Stallone, Martin Lawrence will gain 400 pounds to reprise the role of Momma with more integrity and honesty than the previous two films. His extreme weight gain causes a massive heart attack, killing the franchise, and Lawrence.
  • I hope someone who is insane, homicidal and looking for a name for themselves takes note and kills everyone in the theater who shows up opening day for this film.
  • marz
    didnt Paul Giamatti's character get killed off,off screen on the 2nd one and thats why he wasnt in it..or was that someone else.
  • This is sad...Martin Lawrence needs to go make
    Bad Boys 3 with Will Smith already!
  • Or be beaten to death with a tripod like Bob Crane.
  • Mike Z.
    Martin Lawrence's character, after a humiliating opening sequence in the fat suit, exclaims "I'm gettin' too old for this shit!" But there's one... More... CASE: infiltrating a Mexican organized crime family. Outnumbered, and not smart enough to learn Spanish, Lawrence turns to a fellow FBI agent and begins to teach him all about perpetuating stereotypes by going undercover as a fat female ethnic minority. Get ready for GEORGE LOPEZ IN: BIG MAMACITA'S HOUSE.

    FAT SUITS: END GAME

    While driving separately, Big Momma, Madea, that fat woman from Norbit, and all of the Klumps in an RV (or something equivalent), simultaneously suffer heart attacks and collide in the middle of an intersection, creating a mushroom cloud in a scale that could only have been powered by the collective consciousness of those not in the theater.
  • Here's what I'm imagining as the ending of this incredible journey, which critics hail as the poor man's Nutty Professor.

    So after Martin Lawrence solves the case of the stolen rubies from Muhammad Al Muhammad for the FBI he reveals to the semi-hot female, who is somehow tied to the case that he has narrowly avoided being found out by in embarassingly hilarious scenes, that he is actually a man. She however doesn't take too kindly to Mr. Lawrence's smooth talking wit and slaps him across the face. He spends the next few months wallowing in self pity, but from time to time he looks in the back of closet and sees all of the dresses and bras that he used to wear, and he misses them... he REALLY misses them. The movie ends on a high note as the character comes to the logical conclusion of getting a sex change.
  • Oh, Lawdy.

    Artists and filmmakers bust their humps to get out their earnest, low-budget projects and they can't find a distributor. But Martin Lawrence in a fat suit..AGAIN?! Where do I sign your ridiculous check, sir?
  • You know, at the risk of being severely ridiculed, I have to say that I have enjoyed several of Martin Lawrence's movies over the years. But even being a fan of his silly movies I can't condone a third Big Momma movie. Why? Just do something original(ish) this time. The second one sucked (yes, I caught it on Netflix).
  • Marty J
    There was a Big Momma's House 2? If knowing that makes me forget the date of me mum's birthday, I'm gonna be angry.
  • Chris
    ok sad u didnt know they made a second one and i think the reason tehy made a 3rd one is that Martin Lawrence likes dressing up in womens clothes and making himself look fat. Its probably the only real contact he gets with a women... rofl and im not the same Chris as up there just letting u know
  • crazy lil boy
