Mo Marable has signed on to direct the Disney+ reboot of Three Men And A Baby. The original movie, released in 1987 and directed by Spock actor Leonard Nimoy, follows three New York bachelors (Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, and Ted Danson) who unexpectedly find themselves caring for an infant left on their doorstep. They eventually develop an affection for the baby while also having to fend off drug dealers. The comedy was a notable success at the time since it was the first live-action Disney movie to gross over $100 million at the box office and was even followed by a sequel Three Men and a Little Lady in 1990.
According to Deadline, Maurice “Mo” Marable will direct the reboot of the 80s classic comedy for Disney+. It was previously announced that High School Musical’s Zac Efron will star in one of the lead roles. At the current time, no other cast members have been confirmed. However, Marable will be directing the remake based on a script penned by Will Reichel, whose sole writing credit includes the 2019 comedy Hot Air.
Marable is perhaps best known for directing six episodes of the Hulu original series Woke and many other acclaimed television comedies. His most notable credits include directing the final three seasons of IFC’s Brockmire and episodes of Insecure, VEEP, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Clearly, Marable has put together an impressive resume directing television comedies. Even though this will be his time directing a feature film, Disney seems to have gone with a safe choice in Marable to direct a reboot of one of their most beloved live-action comedies.
