THREE AND COUNTING: With a
mid-June start date in Toronto scheduled, it's still unclear just which members of the original Baker family will be on hand to join father and mother - Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt - and eldest sister, Piper Perabo, in "
Cheaper by the Dozen 2."
Hilary Duff, who didn't really have much to do in the original, but did make an impression, is currently making "Material Girls" with sister Haylie for Martha Coolidge, and after that, has several more of her own vehicles in the pipeline. She is doubtful for a return.
Tom Welling - who has been juggling "Smallville" acting chores with his work on the big-screen remake of "The Fog" - could do it, but will he?
Juvenile actors Kevin Schmidt and Forrest Landis are reportedly coming back for the feature that will involve the Bakers on vacation, competing against a rival supersized family.
