According to Variety, Mandeville Films has set Bringing Down the House 2 in motion with screenwriter Jason Filardi, who also wrote the original. The hope is to reinlist director Adam Shankman, Martin and Queen Latifah.
The company is also in talks with Mrs. Doubtfire scribe Randi Mayem Singer to script its remake of Topper as a reteam for "House" helmer Shankman and Martin. The 1937 film starred Cary Grant and Constance Bennett as a high society duo who get killed in an auto accident, become ghosts and inflict their rebellious spirit on an uptight, stodgy banker named Cosmo Topper, to be played by Martin.
Both projects are Disney-based.
Filardi is also scripting Navy Seal at Disney for Arnold and Anne Kopelson, and he's scripting Ghetto Buck at Columbia for Martin Lawrence and director Dennis Dugan.
