May 22, 1998... James Cromwell has apparently stated that there will be an additional sequel beyond the one already in production.  Who from the first two films will be returning to join him in this endeavor remains to be seen. [Originally appeared on Mark L. Browning's Movie Page; reported by 'Widgett'.]

December 6, 1998...A report over at Ain't It Cool confirms that there's plenty of Babe for the taking, despite a cold shoulder from U.S. box office returns for the sequel. Magda Szubanski was quoted as saying, "George Miller has so many ideas in his head, we'll just have to wait and see. But there's definently talk that there'll be another adventure for Babe." [Originally appeared in Ain't It Cool News; reported by Widgett.]

January 5, 1998... A cold shoulder? Try $15.3 million and crawling upwards. Amidst all of the chaos, the resigning of Casey Silver as numero uno at Universal because of the sequel, the deficit between what the second film made and what it cost (rumors say up to $120 million), the complaints by parents of the film being "too dark" and the mixed reviews by critics (some hated it, some, like Roger Ebert, placed it on their lists of the best of the year) -- will we see that pig strut his stuff again on the silver screen? Who can say? At least the merchandising is doing well. [Thanks to The Movie Times for the B.O. number; reported by Widgett.]
