Chris Columbus
Chris Joseph Columbus is a name every Harry Potter fan would be familiar with. The American director though already successful by the time he directed movies in the Harry Potter film franchise, was catapulted to worldwide acclaim when the Harry Potter movies based on the novels of J. K. Rowling became phenomenally popular among children and youth. A fan of fantasy and horror comics from a young age, little Chris was very creative and had an imaginative mind. He loved to conjure up images in his mind and build them into interesting stories. On growing up he realized he wanted to work in films and joined the New York University's film school. He started writing screenplays while he was still a student and even managed to sell one of his screenplays to the legendary director Steven Spielberg! As a director he believes in making films that give people hope and a reason to dream. Thus he always models his characters after real-life people who struggle to achieve a balance in their chaotic lives. In spite of being such a successful and wealthy man, Columbus is surprisingly simple and down-to-earth. A happy and optimistic person, he is a devoted family man who loves spending time with his wife and four children.

Mrs. Doubtfire Has 3 Different Cuts, and Chris Columbus Is Open to Making a Doc on Them

We're going to get right to the heart of things — there is no NC-17 cut of the well-loved classic film Mrs. Doubtfire. On March 18, a tweet went viral after claiming there are several cuts of the film thanks to comedian Robin Williams's love for off-color improv. The tweet got its information from a 2015 interview in which director Chris Columbus said he ended up with four different cuts in the editing room, "literally, a PG rated version of the film, PG-13, R, and NC-17."

Sorry folks, director Chris Columbus confirms there is not a 'Mrs. Doubtfire' NC-17 cut

Mrs. Doubtfire director Chris Columbus is putting out fans' fire for an NC-17 cut of the 1993 Oscar-winning comedy starring late comedian Robin Williams. "(Williams) would sometimes go into territory that wouldn't be appropriate for a PG-13 movie, but certainly appropriate and hilariously funny for an R-rated film," Columbus told Entertainment Weekly. "I only [previously] used the phrase NC-17 as a joke. There could be no NC-17 version of the movie."

Mrs. Doubtfire Director Chris Columbus Confirms There's an R-Rated Version

Mrs. Doubtfire fans, your day is here, director Chris Columbus says that there’s an R-rated version of the film. Chatter around the beloved Robin Williams movie started last night as an old interview with the filmmaker began making the rounds on social media. The Snyder Cut of Justice League has released and people are believing anything is possible. Columbus actually joked that there were PG-13 to NC-17 cuts of the film somewhere around. He had to clear the air after those quotes from 2015 were taken as literal by tons of the fans on the Internet. Entertainment Weekly talked to the director about the film and how it was that even an R-rated cut of the film exists when Mrs. Doubtfire is usually viewed as a family comedy for the most part. Well, you can thank Robin Williams for all of this silliness as the beloved comedian couldn’t stop improvising bits that had to be left on the cutting room floor because of how close to the line they ended up being.

They’re singing “Deck the Halls” and it does seem very much like Christmas, all in all, when Darlene Love is belting one out. There’s a new instance of that, in the Chris Columbus-directed Netflix film “The Christmas Chronicles 2,” as Love joins Kurt Russell, who’s returning as Santa Claus, in a large-scale musical number built around a new song written by Steven Van Zandt, “The Spirit of Christmas.”
