Why are we talking about a Santa clause 4? I dont get it


Ummm, it seems unlikely, because the third Santa Clause was a dissappointment. The comedy and action was waaaaay too bloated. It lacked the warmth and finess of the first two, especially the first. I don't want to say there will never be a part 4, but at this point it would seem too tedious and tiresome. It would have to have a plot that was totally original and refreshing. Never say never though.

I think if they ever decide to make a 4th one. They better do it right. I think the plot for that one should be between Charlie becoming the next Santa over Buddy, the new baby from the 3rd movie? I think it should start out, with the Baby Clause, by accident going into the "universal Pantagram" the michine that made the evil toy santa and the huge toy soilders in the 2nd movie. Then Buddy will be exactly Charlie's age now,say around 20 years old skipping 19 years of his life. Now this could become a bigger problem... Bernard would have to come back from his absense to tell Scott and Carol the really bad news, that his time is up, he must pass on the red coat to Charlie or either Buddy to prolong the CLAUSE processes to stay within the Calvin family name or it will be either giving to an unknown person or will be erased forever, but most of all has trouble deciding who will do a better job? Then I thought of a really cool idea, have Scott meet with the very first Santa who started the Clause long before he put on the red coat back in 1994. So have a new story, but with a SANTA Clause storyline Prequel, this way we can see how it began an how it will final end. I thought to me was very interesting in questioning, were did it all started for him in the original SANTA CLAUSE, then he needed a Wife into the contract, that was Santa Clause 2: The Mrs.Clause, Then he made a big mistake in wishing he was not santa at all. Think what it would have been like if he did not exist. Then in the 3rd movie, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. Now in the 4th an final story. It should be called Santa Clause 4: WHO'S THE CLAUSE. That's just a title I made up. Now here's were my plot comes into play with the idea, that he knows now through out all 3 movies, he can't always be at 2 places and once that was a hard lesson he had to learn. According to the "Santa hand book in the 2nd movie", Scott trys to convice the 1st Santa, Saint Nicholas the 1st SANTA CLAUSE and the councial of legendary figures now that includes Jack Frost, now that he is reformed to his normal self. To change that rule, so both his sons can take over his dutys and share them as a family. Then there just end it...

Future Tim Allen Holiday Films

As the season changes to wintry, er, November and children's thoughts turn to...Thanksgiving? Veteran's Day? Christmas, we are enchanted once again by the charming Tim Allen in a holiday film that will touch your whole family with its seasonal message and hilarious sequence in which someone falls off a roof while trying to hang elaborate holiday lights.

Back when Tim Allen made the transition from beloved sitcom star to bill-paying Hollywood actor, he did it, more or less, with 1994's The Santa Clause. And he hasn't forgotten his roots. Or where he stashed that fake beard. Because since then, we've been treated to such Yule-ish season classics as The Santa Clause 2, Christmas With The Kranks, and, opening this weekend, like an adorable if slightly premature baby, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.

Lest you worry that future holiday seasons won't bring their own sprinkles of magic Allen powder, Fametracker looks ahead to future Tim Allen projects and -- as a special Christmas treat to good boys and girls! -- offers you this sneak peek:

The Santa Clause 4: Clause For Celebration; Release date: November 2008

Tim Allen returns as Scott Calvin/Santa, but this time he's got a real problem on his hands: dysentery among the reindeer! Is it faulty feed -- damn you prions! -- or the work of the nefarious Rinderpest (James Spader), a foppish troll who wants nothing more than to see Santa's eight magic reindeer drop streams of liquid waste on the rooftops and children of the world. Here's hoping Santa/Scott Calvin can stop -- or, rather, stop up -- the problem in time!

The Santa Clause 5: Probable Clause; Release date: November 2010

Santa/Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is in for his toughest Christmas yet when he's arrested on a false manslaughter rap. How will the children of the world get their holiday delights while Santa rots away in a prison cell with a crossing-dressing cellmate named Horatio (Billy Crystal)? And how will Scott Calvin climb to his roof to shame his neighbors with elaborate decorative lights? Enter Felicity Lawbuckets (Rene Russo), a brilliant defense lawyer who holds the key to Santa's freedom -- except she doesn't believe in Christmas! But she does believe in Justice! Hey, Horatio -- put down that home-made brand!

Extended Holiday Hours; Release date: October 2011

Despite the fact that his family-run toy store is struggling, Theodore P. Grumpps (Tim Allen) has always refused to open on Christmas Day. After all, it's the only day of the year when he can truly gloat over the incredibly elaborate decorative lights he's hung on the roof. But then a Chinese family moves to town and opens a toy store right across the street -- open year-round! And that means Christmas, too! Something's wrong -- or Wong! When Theo gets into an escalating war of elaborate holiday decorations with grumpy Chinese businessman/human-cargo trader See Me Wong (Danny DeVito) -- well, it's a holiday tale of retail for the whole family.

The Santa Clause 6: Clause Out; Release date: 2012

Is it curtains for Santa/Scott Calvin (Tim Allen)? New curtains, that is -- because Mrs. Clause (Elizabeth Mitchell) has hired a fancy interior decorator named Early Frost (Nathan Lane) to spruce up the North Pole! But Christmas trees are firs, not spruce! Santa's going to have to vacate the workshop -- with only a few months left till Christmas. Hey, who took Santa's favorite recliner -- and replaced it with this mid-century modern Eames rocker? AND WHO TOOK DOWN SCOTT CALVIN'S ELABORATE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!?!!

The Santa Clause 7: Clause Barbie; Release date: Unscheduled

It's Santa/Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) versus America's favorite toy sweetheart in a synergistic holiday cross-promotion for the whole family! See, Santa's gotten a bit lazy, and a little jaded, so this year, he's giving all the boys and girls of the world wooden blocks and books for Christmas. Bo-ring! But here comes the leggy lady herself -- the living doll, Barbie (Jessica Simpson)! Time to sex it up, Santa, with curvaceous toys for all the girls and boys. That is, if Barbie's perfect plan isn't foiled by evil Professor Birkenstock Leghair (Rosie O'Donnell), who wants to fill your Christmas stockings with educationally valuable gender-neutral toys. Hey, Professor -- fill this!

Those movie descriptions sounded like a prank.

I like it. Especially the bit about Bernard returning.

Hey people don't fall for it so easily,I've already got a problem with taking some things seriously, but this was a twisted joke, they never would come up with something stupid like that at all, especialy the Walt Disney Company... so it's all got to be some kind of sick twisted joke.
