While promoting the upcoming Bad News Bears remake, screenwriters Glenn Ficarra and John Requa got a chance to speak with Coming Soon. Of the topics mentioned, the duo were questioned reguarding the status of a sequel to the 2001 hit film Cats & Dogs, which they also wrote. “It’s not happening, at least not with us,” said Ficarra. “The first one made so much money that we thought they’d make the other one, but I guess they decided not to, and we got seduced into Bad Santa land.” “Yeah, we were going off in a different direction,” continued Requa with a note of sarcasm, “so they can’t possibly make a talking animal movie without us.” “Maybe it’s too late now,” added Ficarra. Still listed at the Internet Movie Database, Cats & Dogs 2: Tinkles’ Revenge was rumored to have a 2005 release date.
