I always thought Three Men and a Baby WAS a gay movie. Seriously, three white collar, middle aged guys living together in a fabulous Manhattan apartment. And was there ever a whiff of female love interest for any of the guys?

I either dreamt it or read it somewhere recently that there are sinister plans for another sequel where the ‘little lady’ is now all grown and a single mom junkie or something: Three Men and a Crack Whore.

Like I said: possibly dreamt it. It’s just like that time James Franco climbed in through my bedroom window dressed as Kirsten Dunst and gave me a lap-dance – did that really happen?

Anyway, a start-up film company based in North Carolina is planning a gay take on Three Men and a Baby, where the ‘baby’ is actually an estranged 17-year-old delinquent called Jack. He turns up on his gay father’s doorstep just as pop is about to propose to his boyfriend; cue all sorts of camp drama and emotional to-and-fro.

Dalliance Films – who don’t want to be labelled a ‘gay film company’ but are three-quarters gay run – had hoped to shoot Timing this Summer, but the recession has forced them to push back until next year.

They’ve not been idle, however. Already in the can is a short thriller called Three for Dinner (is there a ‘three’ theme) and they’ve used their initiative and put together a five-minute trailer for Timing (see above) in order to raise interest (and more importantly, finance).
