Had Robin Williams not taken his life a year ago this day, there would have likely been a sequel to his 1993 box-office hit movie Mrs. Doubtfire. Robin and director Chris Columbus always talked about making a sequel, Columbus said.
He told Entertainment Weekly that in the early 2000s, the idea of a sequel came up but since they were not happy with the concept until someone came up with a really interesting idea and the two agreed to develop a script. With Robin's death, the chance of making a sequel using another actor is zero.
Columbus points out that filmmakers, the moviegoers and studios would not even think of casting someone else in the role of Mrs. Doubtfire other than the late comedian. "It definitely will never happen again," Columbus says.
In spite of the 12 months that had passed since Robin took his life, the director still finds talking about the sequel "really too difficult at this point."
To remember the late actor, the California legislature renamed the Waldo Tunnel in Marin County the Robin Williams Tunnel, while the hashtag #RobinWilliams was trending on Twitter, reports Patch.com.
Celebrities posted on social media their memories of Robin who first became a hit in the TV series "Mork and Mindy" as an alien opposite Pam Dawber.
Actor John Stamos recalled in a tweet the first autograph he received from Robin which states: "Dear money, send mom." In an Instagram post, actress Leann Rimes wrote, "So heartbreaking! I'll never forget being in his presence and laughing til my face hurt."
