Whatever Happened to 'Odd Couple 3' ???
Does anybody know whatever happened to the plans for making Odd Couple 3?
I just watched Jack Lemmon's appearance on The Charlie Rose Show from early 1998 (http://www.charlierose.com/shows/1998/02/09/1/an-hour-with-actor-jack- lemmon), and during the interview he mentions the making of Odd Couple 2, which apparently was just about to be released, and then goes on to say that Neil Simon already had Odd Couple 3 completed, and that plans were well underway for it's production.
Does anyone know why it never got made?
If I had to guess, I'd say it may (possibly) have had something to do with Lemmon's or Matthau's health (since both were close to the end of their lives, and not in the best of health), or because (more likely) Odd Couple 2 pretty much "tanked" upon it's release (earning less than $19 million dollars).
Anyone know for sure?
