Hoffman May No Longer Make A FOCKing Appearance, But Streisand Will!!
Merrick here...
In MEET THE FOCKERS, the 2004 sequel to MEET THE PARENTS, we were introduced to Bernie and Rozalin Focker (Ben Stiller's parents). Now that a new FFOCKERS film is rolling around, there's been some question as to who'll return.
Dustin Hoffman was to reprise his "Bernie Focker" role in the new FOCKERS movie - albeit in cameo form. This may not be happening now. Barbara Streisand, who played Hoffman's wife/Stiller's mother in MEET THE FOCKERS will have a "prominent" part in the new film.
Sources tell EW.com that there has been strife between Hoffman and the studio over the size of the part, the scheduling of the days on set and other difficulties. Hoffman had tentatively agreed to appear in what was to be a very funny cameo at the end of the film. That seems to have now fallen apart, due to either salary issues or scheduling problems, or both.
...says EW HERE.
When first announced, the title of the third installment was LITTLE FOCKERS. Word is the studio may flench and change this. I hope they don't...I think the public is more stoic about such matters than it used to be, and LITTLE FOCKERS is a (vaguely) funny title. Go ahead, we can take it...

Have Hoffman's character die on a bus on his way to visit...

That's not a typo - that's poor vocabulary.
-
The first film was called "Look Who's Talking", followed by "Look Who's talking too," and then the direct to video "Look Who's Talking Now." Each film was progressively worse than the last(although I never bothered seeing the third movie in the series). I can only imagine that the 4th film in the "Meet The Parents" series would be titled "Big Fockers" or maybe "Mother Focker" or how about "Look Who's Focking Now."
-
Gimme a break...this series of films was purile, sophomoric shit of the lowest order from the start!
If this is what is considered comedy for this generation, then we are all totally FOCKED! -
I love kooky Barbra (as opposed to romantic drama Barbra).
-
He's already on set, just put a goofy wig on him and nobody will know the difference.
-
You'd think they could have gotten rid of Streisand and made this third one watchable.
-
One of the worst "comedies" I've ever seen.
-
meet the fockers was funny maybe the first time, but wasnt as memorable or clever as meet the parents.
-
sadly the 3rd Look Who's Talking was indeed in theaters, scary i know.
-
Fockers 3 should go directly to DVD and then into the dollar bin and then into the trash. Or better yet, let's not waste time even making it.
-
"LITTLE FOCKERS. OH! OH! WHAT THE FUCK? I AINT DOING THIS SHIT!"
-
Just sayin'.
-
... and I've pretty much repressed all memory of the first one.But honestly, why would anyone run into budgetary or scheduling problems over Dustin Hoffman? The guy hasn't done anything important in years (decades?), so how could he possibly command an exorbitant rate, and how could he possibly have a busy schedule?
-
...actually not bad at all. The second is a piece of shit. And this one, well, any movie where grown men run around like assholes dealing with babies and little children(which studio's think is "cute") always sucks. Always.
-
SHEETHEAD CONT LICKING CORK-SUCKING MOTHER FOCKERS
-
A play on words of darthvedder81.
-
They already did Meet the Fockers, not much of a difference between the two.
-
why even do it then?
-
I would have preferred Bette Midler over Babs in the second movie. Or, at least, they should have gone back in time and used the hot Barbra from "What's Up, Doc?"
I would have also preferred Sam Jackson over Martin Lawrence in "Wild Hogs." Not that the movie would have been any better, but it would have been ever-so-slightly more tolerable. -
The first two were hysterical. I can't wait.
-
It's not that he thinks the movies suck, but that he isn't an indemand actor anymore and is demanding a huge salaryone of two things will happen, the script will be altered so his part is bigger and therfore a larger salary is justified, or hoffman will balk and agree to the cameo at the rate the studio has offered<P.either way The Hoff will appear in Little fockers
-
Fockers sounds like fuckers! Hilarity ensues.
-
that "...Fockers" outgrossed "...Parents" by a solid 200 million. Sucked so hard compared to the first one...
-
It's Barbra, not Barbara.
-
What the fuck is going on here?
-
Hoffman doesn't really need this flick, and the studio doesn't think they really need him. My guess is someone is gonna say "fuck it". No Bernie.
-
It's like they go out of their way to push stories that are stale about franchises and films that their target audience certainly does not care about. Look at the front page: UNDERWORLD, MEET THE FOCKERS 3, PLANET 51, THE BLIND SIDE, NEW MOON, honestly, who gives a shit?! Sure, there's some PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS and AVATAR stuff and UP IN THE AIR which looks great but CLEARLY is being pimped by this site due to some sweetheart deal, but overall these movies do NOT cater to this audience. And it's not like children and Sandra Bullock fans and preteen girls are gonna start flocking here! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED! WE ARE A FAR CRY FROM THAT AMAZING SUPERMAN SCRIPT REVIEW FROM A FEW YEARS AGO!!!
-
it always throws me off now when you say something that makes sense.. have you dropped your other 'character'?
-
yes i spelled that wrong
-
I'm glad I keep coming back here...
-
Should have been Pacino in the second one anyhow.
-
...Jett "dropped" it alright. If by "dropped" it, you mean "Got called a big fat phony" by the admins, then yeah, he dropped it.
-
How about Child Fockers or Baby Fockers?
-
I hardly know 'er!
-
And Babs reprising her role is cool news indeedy.
-
Is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen in theatres. And I saw Batman & Robin, Wild Wild West, Men in Black II, X-Men 3, etc on the big screen. Just a fucking terrible, terrible movie.
-
Motherfocker..
-
... that celebrates the "wackiness" of filthy people. Let's not forget this is the character who is first introduced telling us he forgot to flush the toilet he just shit in and they're all looking at his shit as he laughs "Whoops, looks like I forgot my own rules!"
-
I loved the first one. It was original and funny,but they went waaay overboard with the second one. Kind of like Ocean's 12 but much worse.
-
I had my girlfriend drag me to see "Meet the Fockers." 15 minutes into it, I wanted to impale my eyes on spikes. The only redeeming joke of this huge cinematic fart was a toddler saying "asshole." Sheesh, that makes the pot-and-tits teen movies look like a Charles Laughton epic. Anyone who laughed at that bad-acid-trip sitcom should be sterilized. There's something wrong with anyone attached to that thing who wasn't just in it for the money and they should get a hefty case of boils on their privates for their part in it. Somebody blew a nuke's worth of smoke up someone's ass and it came back out as this movie, in chunks. I don't normally wanna overstate too hard, but casting Barbra Streisand as a sex therapist made me barf so hard, I could taste my toenails. RALF! URP! OOG! -
Have the parents be newly divorced and put Pachino as Streisands new lover who is possibly a retired spy thats either against Pachino or a dueling rival from back in the day.
-
.. that base the gags on farts, smelliness, piss, shit, butts, dirty people, dirty rooms, dirty clothes, deodorant, etc. It's just NASTY and isn't funny - E-V-E-R.
-
And reclaim your balls? Please stop making these comedies and get back to some real acting. We want more "Heat" and less "Fokkers."
-
...and has been since the 60's.
One time, in the 70's a customer sat in my mom's chair and said, "I want you to make me as beautiful as Barbra Streisand!"
So my mother hit her in the nose with a hairbrush.
