Singapore director Jack Newo, who made the hugely successful I Not Stupid and I Not Stupid Too movies back in 2002 and 2006, announced that he is producing the third movie in the series after 17 years.
Neo said that he is looking for aspiring actors to be in his new movie and is accepting video auditions for the different roles.
He made the announcement in a press statement on Monday (8 May) but stopped short of revealing any planned or estimated production details and/or dates of release.
However, The Straits Times reported that the third instalment of the movie will revolve around the learning process of four children, from whom their parents can learn how to connect better with their kids and help their children become the best version of themselves by focusing on their other talents instead of just academics.
The previous two movies featured Neo himself, actress Xiang Yun, former child actors Shawn Lee and Joshua Ang, with the latter two catapulting to fame after that.
Neo’s production company J Team Productions said in a Facebook post that they are inviting new and aspiring actors who are keen in the project to submit video auditions of themselves, with the closing date being 15 May at 11.59pm.
Just like the audition process for Neo’s Ah Girl Go Army movie, auditionees can upload their audition video (which has to be about 30 seconds to 1 minute long) onto Facebook, Instagram or TikTok.
They should then add the #inotstupid3 and #小孩不笨3 hashtags on their posts and tag J Team Productions (@jteamsg) and MM2 Entertainment (@mm2singapore) so that his team can find and go through their submissions.
