Mo Marable to Direct Disney+ 'Three Men and a Baby' Reboot

According to Deadline, Mo Marable (Woke, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) has signed on to direct the Disney+ reboot of Three Men and a Baby, which has Zac Efron (High School Musical) set to star.

“Life for an NYC bachelor and his two single friends is hilariously turned upside down when a girlfriend dumps a baby in his lap and disappears from his life forever.”

Released in 1987, the original Three Men and a Baby starred Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson as it centered on three bachelors who find themselves forced to take care of a baby left by one of the guys’ girlfriends. The film grossed over $165 million on an $11 million budget, and in 1990 the cast returned for the sequel Three Men and a Little Lady. Talks of a third film tentatively titled Three Men and a Bride were discussed for years but never materialized.

Gordon Gray (Disney’s The Rookie ,The Way Back), is producing, with Louie Provost (Lilo & Stitch remake) and Allison Erlickhman (The Little Mermaid remake) overseeing. Will Reichel (Hot Air) wrote the script for the remake.

Marable is also set to direct Grand Crew, Dan Goor, and Phil Jackson’s upcoming comedy for NBC, the pilot to None of the Above for Disney, an episode of The Dropout for Hulu Jeff Bridges FX series The Old Man.

Marable has directed numerous acclaimed comedies on TV, including the last three seasons of IFC’s Brockmire. He also served as an Executive Producer and multiple episodes of VEEP, Insecure, It’s Always Sunny, The Last OG, and Lodge 49, among others.
