‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ director Chris Columbus revealed they are « talking about » creating a documentary spotlighting Robin Williams’ improv process.
According to Mrs. Doubtfire director Chris Columbus, fans of the 1993 comedy may be in for a treat. Columbus told Insider that they “shot almost 2 million feet of film” over the course of the film’s production due to its late star Robin Williams‘ incessant and impressive improv, per IndieWire.
Columbus revealed that he and Williams “didn’t talk about a sequel until the year he passed away.” While he argued that there should not be a sequel due to Williams’ passing — and that he would “certainly be very vocal” if they decided to do so — he teased that in terms of a documentary, they are “talking about it and trying to get it done.”
“There are roughly 972 boxes of footage from Doubtfire — footage we used in the movie, outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage — in a warehouse somewhere and we would like to hire an editor to go in and look at all of that footage,” Columbus explained.
