That was the first thing that came to mind when I first heard the rumors about this sequel (that is, besides "Are they kidding?"). "Mrs. Doubtfire" is, IMO, one of Shore's best scores, especially at that point in his career. Along with Robin Williams and Sally Field's performances, Chris Columbus' direction and the fine tuning of the script, Shore helped to turn the film into more than just a silly comedy. He added a lot of heart, warmth and depth to the movie. However, his career appears to have changed somewhat following the epic success of the "Lord of the Rings" films. I'm not going to pretend to read the man's mind, but some composers have been known to be reluctant, if not downright resistant, to taking a step back, especially if they can afford it. So, provided that "2" turns out well, Chris Columbus actually ASKS for Howard Shore and the powers that be don't object to his return, do you think he would be open to it? Personally, it would restore my faith in the project. Even if the film itself turned out to be a stinker, we could at least be consoled with a little nostalgia on Shore's part.

Sorry but I have to disagree with you. Mrs. Doubtfire is one of Shore`s worst scores. The movie itself is funny but when/if they do the sequel I think that is a very slight chance that Columbus actually do hire Shore again. It is however a good chance that he actually hire Christophe Beck. Beck alongside John Williams is the only composer he have worked with more than one time (taken from my memory without researching first). But on the other hand if Columbus really does hire Shore then it is almost as big surprise as it was when John McTiernan hired Bill Conti to score the remake of The Thomas Crown affair, they had collaborated one time before - 14 years prior to that movie if I am not mistaken. That long time between collaboration is very unusual.

Considering Columbus worked with Williams on the "Home Alone" films prior to "Mrs. Doubtfire," was he asked or considered to score the film?
