Here’s an idea that could only sound good to an idiot studio exec: another Nutty Professor sequel!

An open call is out to writers for their take on a potential third entry.

Although it has been eight years since the last “Nutty” came out, executives are interested in a new version that would follow “The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps.

The sequel to 1996′s “The Nutty Professor,” “Klumps” had a less corpulent boxoffice gross than its predecessor, earning $162 million worldwide vs. the $270 million of the first installment.

Murphy is not attached to a new “Nutty”; his involvement would be contingent on the writer, director and other elements. [THR]

So put down that semi-autobiographical first novel you’ve been working on, Hemingways, Nutty Professor 3 needs YOU.  No matter that there’ve already been two Big Momma’s Houses (with a third in the works), a Norbit, countless Madea movies, and a not so subtle parody in Tropic Thunder called “The Fatties”, the first two Nutty Professors made money, and by the transitive property of retards, this one’s going to make money too, dammit.

The only way I’d be on board with this is they cast Gary Busey and Jeff Conaway and made a documentary about trying to film the movie.
