4EverGreen Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 what is wrong with you o_0 I'm just SAYING what everyone's thinking! If you're GOING to make a THIRD movie, you might as well go ALL the way with it! That's why movies that COME in trilogies so often have the THIRD movie be the BIGGEST! It's the closing chapter, so all the remaining plot details get wrapped up, the characters reach their ultimate level of character development, the greatest struggle the characters ever GO through takes place, and we get a sense of "Closure" to the entire trilogy! Besides, its not Stephen Hillenburg is going to PULL a George Lucas on us and release a GOD-Awful Prequel Trilogy 16 years after the third movie! (Because if THAT ever happened, I hope that heaven sends a lightning bolt DOWN to Earth and STRIKES Justin Bieber DEAD if he isn't dead by that point already!) That's all I've got to say about that!

The Spongey Me Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I have a theory. I am thinking that this third movie that Viacom talked about is not their third theatrical movie, but their third TV movie. The first TV movie was Atlantis SquarePantis as the 100th Episode Special. The second TV movie was Truth or Square for the 10th anniversary of the series. It is unlikely that 20 episodes will be released this summer, it is possible that we will be getting 20 episodes before this third movie. If those 20 episodes are 11-minute episodes, then the total number of episodes will be up to 199, leaving this movie to be the 200th Episode Special. That's why I think this '3rd movie' is a TV movie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpongeOddFan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 so does it means the series are going yet another year long hitatus in 2016 (or 2017) again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjs Goodman Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 so does it means the series are going yet another year long hitatus in 2016 (or 2017) again? Well, pre-production means it probably won't start for a while now, so I wouldn't worry about another hiatus yet. Also, based on an earlier tweet of Vincent's, the SpongeBob crew might not even be involved with this film, so that could give them more time to work on the show.

Joe Biden Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 EDIT: Paul Tibbitt is directing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Nug Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Glad Paul's getting some more film credits but what in the actual heck is this gonna be about lol like what plot warrants another movie the plot was getting thin with the second and that was in development for like 5 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanoSpongeOld Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm guessing the crew will be involved, as Paul is directing. Anyway, I'm super excited for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Who wants to bet the plot of this movie will be about them going on land again to stop an evil pirate or something? I mean, it's confirmed that the movie's gonna have some CGI in it.... I don't get why they can't make the movie 100% 2d. I bet SOOW would've at least made as much if not more than the first movie off of brand name alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cha Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 What can you do to top going out of water twice, King Neptune frying Krabs, David Hasselhoff with his robotic pecs, CGI superheroes and Bubbles the Talking Dolphin who watches over space?

Crash Squarepants Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Ehh, I'm not sure if a third movie would be the best idea imo. Unless they come up with something new it might just be a rehash of Sponge Out of Water, but when it comes out I'll see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu! Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Dennis better be in it. On a serious note, I... don't really know how to feel about a third movie. I love SpongeBob, so of course, the more the merrier (whether it be episodes, specials, or in this case, movies), but what could they possibly do with it? SOoW proved to be lackluster in regards to the plot, and while it was pretty to look at, it was just... eh. A third movie seems a bit risky to me, although I could see it working out if it were to serve as an end to the series, much like what Stephen had intended with TSBSPM. Only time will tell, I suppose.Either way, I'll definitely be keeping a sharp eye out for any updates on this production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick's Pet Rock Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Am I the only one here who likes the idea of having a third movie?Still, I'm rather worried if this movie's going to be rushed, plus SOOW was a disappointment for me.
